LOS ANGELES - SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk opened up his private rocket factory to the top official of NASA on Thursday for a tour and progress report on the company’s long-delayed Crew Dragon astronaut capsule.
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine’s visit to SpaceX headquarters in the Los Angeles suburb of Hawthorne and a joint news conference slated for 2 p.m. local time come as SpaceX works to overcome key technical challenges on the Crew Dragon. Both the Boeing and SpaceX capsules have been beset by delays and testing mishaps that have prevented either company from achieving goals for manned orbital missions in 2019.SpaceX successfully launched an unpiloted Crew Dragon in March to the International Space Station, a $100 billion orbital research laboratory that flies about 250 miles above Earth, although the date for its debut manned mission remains uncertain after repeated slips.
With no current means of flying astronauts into orbit from U.S. soil, NASA has been paying Russia about $80 million per ticket for rides to the space station.
