US Spaceflight for the future [update]

Those retards are still relying on explosions to propel them into space. They're never going to make it to Mars.
 
This means every six months there will be a roughly ten-day handover period where the ISS crew will surge to 11 in total – three crewmembers from a single Soyuz, and eight crewmembers from two USCVs.

This will eliminate the need to temporarily reduce the station’s crew to three during handover periods. Whilst the crew increase during handover periods will place additional strains on the station’s life support systems, during the Shuttle era the ISS routinely supported up to 13 crewmembers at a time.

The direct handover model also opens up the possibility for additional astronauts to conduct short-term visits to the ISS, as the commercial crew vehicles are being designed to seat more than the required number of four astronauts.

For instance, maintenance crews could be flown to conduct ten days of intense EVA activity, or researchers to conduct specific experiments during the ten-day period. At this time, however, this is not planned fo

thats neat!
 
That kike is still getting good PR mileage for Tesla.

better than shuttle
lifts a similar amount of usbale cargo to space, less dangerous, better performance, easier to refurb and reuse, costs 90% less than a shuttle launch
and they use this rocket 3x for falcon heavy which lifts 119k tons to orbit which is 2 times more than the current biggest rocket in the world (should be taking off within 3-6 months)
 
mathematical stats true fact: drinking a gallon of cyanide is less dangerous than taking a ride on the space shuttle
 
u sound like a used car dealer who's just reporting the crazy excellent bargain information from an ad that's already been published
