Star Wars: Boeing, SpaceX, and Sierra Nevada in the Battle to Build the Next NASA Shuttle.Video.
Francisco De Jesùs.
"The Next Space Race" is a journey through the booming business of space
exploration. The International Space Station is a near zero-gravity
laboratory dedicated to scientific research. The end of NASA's shuttle
program in 2011 left the world with only one way to get there, buy a
seat from the Russians.
NASA is holding a competition challenging
private enterprise to build America's next spacecraft. Boeing, SpaceX,
and Sierra Nevada are all multi-billion dollar aerospace companies
competing to win the NASA contract that could cement dominance in the
emerging space industry. Bloomberg gets rare access to these space
pioneers, including a tour of SpaceX with CEO Elon Musk.
