It happened…! Elon Musk & SpaceX Just Saved NASA billions of dollars from Russia
During the last 17 years, the US Congress has authorized budgets totaling $58.5 billion for various NASA deep-space exploration plans.
By late summer, 2022, that total is likely to exceed $65 billion, most of which has been spent on developing a heavy-lift rocket and deep-space capsule that may carry humans into deep space.
However, after all that tax money, NASA’s deep-space plans remain grounded!
Fortunately, the coming together of America’s space agency and its most audacious space company, SpaceX, saved NASA billions of dollars!
How did SpaceX do that?
All this and more in today’s episode of Great SpaceX!
Eight years ago, the business of space changed.
In 2014, NASA tapped SpaceX and Boeing to build two new human-rated spacecraft, the Crew Dragon and Starliner, respectively. Each company would first prove its ship capable of safe flight, then perform as many as six crewed missions to the International Space Station.
Boeing hasn’t yet been able to complete its test flights and hasn’t performed even one crewed mission.
But SpaceX?
That contract has proved a resounding success!
It is Musk’s firm that has delivered NASA a human-rated spacecraft in its hour of need, with Russia continuing to raise prices for rides into space nearly a decade after the space shuttle’s retirement.
So far, SpaceX has completed five crewed spaceflights for NASA: the 2020 Demo-2 mission that marked America’s return to crewed spaceflight, followed by Crew-1 later that year, Crew-2 and Crew-3 in 2021, and Crew-4 blasted off on April 27.
