SpaceX, Rocketplane Kistler Win NASA Spaceship Contest
Alan Boyle writes on MSNBC:
Two aerospace teams headed by SpaceX and Rocketplane Kistler will
share almost half a billion dollars set aside for demonstrations of
new spaceships capable of transporting cargo and crew between Earth
and the international space station, NASA announced Friday.
The Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program, or COTS,
marks a dramatic departure in the way NASA does business and could
give boost to the nascent private-sector space race -- including
space tourism for paying passengers.
