Elon Musk, the CEO of private aerospace company SpaceX, said the company's soon-to-be unveiled reusable space capsule, the Dragon V2, could be ready to carry astronauts by 2016. SpaceX unveiled the new craft Thursday at its Hawthorne, California, plant, Bloomberg News said. "We actually expect to be able to transport crew by 2016, a year before NASA needs it," Musk said Thursday. "We feel fairly confident we'll be ready."
