The unmanned SpaceX Dragon has docked with the ISS.

Since the government would rather spend money on... well, everything but NASA, it's actually a good thing that the era of commercial space flight is taking off. One of my co-workers actually suggested that NASA might end up becoming little more than a regulatory agency.
