Yep nice flight congrats to SpaceX and the NASA commercial crew team. Show NASA's HSF-SLS/ Orion people how to do it.
Read that NASA was so busy looking over Elon's shoulder the whole time since SpaceX was the "new kid in the block" that they figured an "old hand" like Boeing had this and turns out giving them free reign ended up giving them enough rope to hang themselves with... Boeing's CST is just a cheap copy of their early Orion work, when NASA gave them a big fat contract to build a composite pressure hull testbed pressure vessel for Orion... Then they decided to go with metallic anyway... So Boeing had a leg up on all the competition going into commercial crew anyway, since they could use the previous work... And in typical gubmint fatcat contractor style, they STILL managed to screw the pooch! Wish they'd have given the CCDev contract to Dream Chaser instead of Boeing... Boeing thought they had it in the bag, but then again, White Star thought Titanic was unsinkable too... Just guess to show what "believing your own press" will get you... LOL OL J R
