Private space travel funded by government contracts.
- ardy42 6y ago> Private space travel funded by government contracts. So, just like the 60s. Per Wikipedia: The Apollo Command and Service Module was built by North American Aviation (now part of Boeing) and the Lunar Module by Grumman (now Northrop Grumman) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_(spacecraft) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_(spacecraft)). The Saturn V was build by Boeing, North American, and Douglas (the latter two now part of Boeing) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_V https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_V).
