[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 3367727, member: 3371"] Manned space flight from US soil is scheduled to resume next when a Falcon9 rocket sends 2 astronauts to the ISS inside a Dragon spacecraft. It will be the first mashed launch from the US since the shuttle program ended in 2011. NASA awarded 2 contracts in 2014 for development of manned spacecraft. 4.3 billion dollars to Boeing and 2.5 bilion dollars to Spacex.

(Image: © Boeing/SpaceX) [/SIZE] [IMG]https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/dHduwxkcxAg459wCDv5pQQ-970-80.jpg[/IMG] The dragon spacecraft has completed all of it's requirements required by NASA for manned space flight including the mid-launch abort test. The Boeing starliner meanwhile failed spectacularly during it's only flight test when it's maneuvering system wasted so much fuel that the spacecraft was unable to reach an orbit compatible with ISS docking. In addition, it's reentry procedure damaged the heat shield. Both of those problems should have been caught during computer simulations that Boeing [B]claimed[/B] they had conducted. NASA has sent inspectors to the Boeing facility to find out if Boeing pencil-whipped the simulations they signed off on. Sound familiar for Boeing? It looks to me like Boeing is wasting taxpayer money and SpaceX is returning America to space. I don't get all the hatred of Elon Musk. [/QUOTE]
