NASA Selects SpaceX to Deliver Astronauts to Orbit! Three cheers for private spaceflight! SpaceX, the world’s leading private spaceflight firm, announced today that NASA picked their Dragon capsule to succeed the Space Shuttle as a ferry for our astronauts into orbit. This comes just weeks after an empty test capsule successfully docked with the ISS and returned safely to Earth. This is fantastic news for the future of private spaceflight, and for NASA’s future in general. By allowing NASA to focus on developing equipment for missions beyond low-Earth orbit and leaving the “easy” stuff to companies like SpaceX, we can stretch a thin NASA budget and truly shoot for the stars. As Neil deGrasse Tyson says, this is the kind of policy that will allow us to stop “going boldly where hundreds have been before.” Onward, upward and beyond, thanks to the entrepreneurs and dedicated scientists at SpaceX!
