NASA Gains A New Partner

The space exploration giant NASA, has teamed up with the airline manufacture giant Boeing and the space transportation company Space X.

While making this move NASA has saved tons of money because now they do not have to ferry their astronauts to the space station through Russia. It was reported that it cost NASA 70 million dollars to put an astronaut into one of Russia's shuttles and ferry them to the space station. However, Space X has announced that a seat will only cost them 20 million, a 50 million dollar difference where they can use those funds to help with their projects. The shuttle looks like the cockpit of a Boeing airplane, but with high tech technology supplied from Space X. NASA has released that the first launch of the shuttles will be in 2017 in Cape Canaveral, but will delay the launch if safety is compromised.

I believe that hiring Boeing and Space X is a smart move by NASA  because now they are saving 50 million dollars of tax payers money, which could be used to fund more space projects, or build up the American infrastructure. I strongly support the idea of space exploration because I believe the future of mankind depends on our technology in the field of space.
