“Space X domination of U.S. launch contracts is poised to grow. As Elon Musk leads Trump’s effort to slash federal spending, his company has proved essential to NASA and Pentagon ambitions in space.” WAPO. JFK’s Moon shot was nothing more than an expensive PR program! Going to MARS will be even more wasteful.
NASA contracted with Boeing and Space X in 2014 to build two dissimilar crew space transportation systems to ferry astronauts to and from the ISS through Public-Private Partnerships. Boeing was awarded $4.2 billion, Space X $2.6 billion. Boeing was the legacy supplier and is now looking to spin off their Space division!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
