SpaceX Favored Over Orbital by Readers

"Which commercial space launch firm will successfully deliver cargo to the International Space Station first?" was the question posed the past month or so.

Spaceport readers give Hathorne, Calif-based SpaceX a nearly 50-50 chance of being the first commercial space launch transport to deliver cargo to the orbiting space station; while Dulles, Va-based Orbital Sciences Corporation gained a 2 in 5 chance of being the first. Slightly more than 1 in 10 said another commercial space launch carrier would be first. President Obama seems to be betting on SpaceX too - until at least - he visits Wallops Island, Va.
