This afternoon’s planned launch of NASA astronauts via SpaceX’s spacecraft represents “private enterprise as a major player in the movement of the frontier of space,” astrophysicist Neil DeGrass Tyson told Yahoo Finance.
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson says the expected launch of NASA astronauts via a SpaceX spacecraft represents private enterprise “as a major player in the movement of the frontier of space.”
The private company SpaceX, founded by billionaire Elon Musk, is contracted by NASA to launch astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station on its Crew Dragon spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 rocket. “What Space X is doing is attempting, and I think largely succeeding, in just lowering the cost to space,” said Tyson.
Musk has said SpaceX’s satellite business will eventually pay for its more ambitious plans such as eventually colonizing Mars.
