As SpaceX Unveils Space Tourist Moon Flight, NASA Reacts In a teleconference with reporters Monday (Feb. 27), Musk said SpaceX will launch two paying passengers around the moon using the company's Dragon crew capsule and massive Falcon Heavy rocket. Both vehicles are scheduled for unpiloted test flights later this year. "NASA commends its industry partners for reaching higher," NASA officials wrote in a statement. "We will work closely with SpaceX to ensure it safely meets the contractual obligations to return the launch of astronauts to U.S. soil and continue to successfully deliver supplies to the International Space Station."

I'd love to see the Earth from way up there but then I'd be through. I wonder who gets to go? I'm a bit leery SpaceX has had a couple of accidents. | |

We should have been there and done that already. It's time to expand. [Edited 3/2/17 18:29pm] | |
