Musk: "Commercial Space Will Be The Only Space"
ANN April 1st Special Edition
SpaceX founder Elon Musk announced April 1st that a consortium of commercial space companies have closed a deal with the federal government for the outright purchase of NASA. The consortium is led by SpaceX and ULA, which both have operational boosters that are nearly ready to begin carrying humans into orbit. "The Obama administration was thrilled to be shed of the agency, which it saw as nothing more than a cost center," Musk said. "Between the ULA Atlas boosters which are very reliable, and with Falcon 9 nearly ready to begin operations, we just saw this as the right deal at the right time. In very short order, commercial space will be the only space."
