Saw The Dictator yesterday. Reminded me of Putin's reelection. Seems like only yesterday since he was last in power.

@elonmusk what is the code for the Dragon and rockets written in? Some common language like C or Ada or something specialized?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 5, 2012
Dragon code is written in C++ on Linux.

Almost done reviewing Dragon code with @NASA. Looks good so far. Target launch date is May 19, right after Soyuz docks.
