Space Exploration Technologies Corp, or SpaceX, has been breaking down barriers in satellite launches, broadband LOE communications, and orbital freighters, defying skeptics. And now SpaceX is about to break the very last barrier—manned spaceflight. NASA has certified the Demo-2 Dragon 2 crew capsule for manned flight to the International Space Station. The tentative first launch has been scheduled for May 30th, 2020. Lockheed Martin’s Orion is at least another year away from certification. How did Lockheed, with all its advantages in political patronage, corporate size, experience in space, and money fall behind Musk’s scrappy startup? We take a look at why NASA chose to fund both commercial and federal manned space programs, the design differences between the Dragon 2 and Orion, and the competition issues that have been plaguing the U.S. space industry for decades.
