Boeing and SpaceX have been awarded contracts to become NASA's space taxis, shuttling astronauts to and from the International Space Station, the agency announced Tuesday. http://money.cnn.com/2014/09/16/news/companies/nasa-boeing-space-x/index.html Elon Musk is my hero. It's about time we stop paying those filthy Russians 70mil a seat.
This is a historic paradigm shift. Awesome until private corporations want to bring something back from LV-426
how much per seat do they think this will cost and average person? i would love to travel into space someday.
It'll probably be paid for and built by the elite, for the elite. Average joes would only get to work in servitude aboard spacecraft or on colonies.
