SpaceX Dragon's quest to the space station (pictures)

Following a May 22 launch from Cape Canaveral, Fla., SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft reached orbit on a mission to meet up with the International Space Space in a historic event -- the first commercial ship to dock at the space station.

Here we see the Dragon capsule, berthed at the International Space Station on Friday, May 25. The Dragon returned to Earth this morning.
