Public-Private venture. US astronauts, with a privately built vehicle, I believe.

Correction, this is an unmanned mission. So, private launch.

The gantry looks so... Simplistic, when compared to the shuttle (And past rocket) gantry.

I'm wondering what the doohickey that is moving left-right on second stage is? A navigation thruster?

I think these guys are way ahead of the game.
