SpaceX wins NASA deal to fly astronauts to space station

NASA's newest announcement formalizes the deal, in which SpaceX will load its Crew Dragon ship with crew before sending it into space.

[Satnews] NASA took a significant step last Friday toward expanding research opportunities aboard the worldwide Space Station with the agency's first mission order from Hawthorne, California, based-company SpaceX to launch astronauts from US soil.

According to NASA, the SpaceX and Boeing missions will be cheaper than paying the Russian Federal Space Agency to transport American astronauts to the worldwide Space Station.
