NASA has made a wise and impressive move - by contracting with private space companies to supply the International Space Station (ISS).
Why? Because they will us;e smaller rockets and modules that can put supplies in space for much less cost than bigger NASA rockets. This will boost America's private space development, possibly paving the way to Space Hotels and tours around the moon for space tourists --both projects that are doable with existing technology.
In fact, SpaceX and Orbital Sciences use proven, existing technology which is put together in a unique, efficient manner.
This is the type of wise decision that will help America regain lost ground and open up new technology and high tech employment vital to our future.
Good move NASA! Keep it up! We need leadership like that at GM, the White House, etc.
