[QUOTE="SMS, post: 3369451, member: 42"] It's sure going to be nice to not have to hitch a ride to space on Russian rockets from Russian soil... The Dragon, the space shuttle replacement made in partnership with NASA by that guvmint money sucking a-hole Musk's company SpaceX, is due to conduct a manned launch next week, from Kennedy Space Center. Thanks in part to SpaceX and that guvmint money, we are once again maybe going to be able to show our kids American astronauts launching into space, from America. I can't fathom how anyone can twist that around for a good old OSA bashing, unless you want to cry about money wasted on the space program. By comparison SpaceX got $2.6B for the Dragon program while Boeing received $4.2B for their version called Starliner...and Boeing is not ready for a manned launch yet. Who's going to pile on Boeing for taking that $4.2B? Anyone?
