Anyone keen on a longbet that SpaceX still beats them there?
- hugh3 15y agoThis sounds like bad news for SpaceX. Apparently NASA has decided (no doubt under pressure from the senators for whatever-states-these-things-get-built-in) to go back to building its own manned capsules. For a while it looked like they were going to subcontract the basic put-dude-in-orbit missions to SpaceX, but I guess not. NASA has a way of making things sound much lamer than they should be. Hey, y'know what's a good name for a spaceship? Dragon! Y'know what's a bad name for a spaceship? Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle!
- zeemonkee 15y agoThe sad thing is that most likely, nothing will come of it. They'll be the usual "in 10-20 years" bullshit (i.e. some time way beyond the current Congressional sitting/Presidential term of office) and the whole thing will get quietly cancelled.
