Future Space
NASA’s reliance on SpaceX for its upcoming crew rotation missions to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2025 reflects the growing confidence in the private space company as Boeing continues to face delays and challenges with its CST-100 Starliner spacecraft. While SpaceX’s Crew Dragon has performed reliably, Boeing’s repeated setbacks have raised concerns about its ability to meet NASA’s requirements in a timely and cost-effective manner. Moreover, SpaceX’s recent success with its Starship test flights, particularly the fifth test flight, further highlights its technological edge over Boeing. This has sparked discussions about whether NASA should increase funding for SpaceX, given Boeing’s inability to deliver results despite receiving significant funding.
