NASA Chooses Elon Musk's SpaceX Over Boeing as Starliner Returns Empty from ISS
Aug 24, 2024, 05:40 PM
NASA has decided to use Elon Musk's SpaceX to bring astronauts back from the International Space Station (ISS) as Boeing's Starliner will return empty. This decision follows a 'technical disagreement' between NASA and Boeing, with the agency evaluating risk differently than Boeing for returning its crew. SpaceX will bring back two people currently stranded at the ISS. The move is seen as a boost for SpaceX's reputation in space operations, while potentially impacting Boeing's standing in the sector, according to CNBC.
