SpaceX Beats Boeing For 1st Manned Spaceflight on 5/30/2020 | Why is Starliner a Year Behind?

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. Boeing’s Starliner is at least another year away from certification. How did Boeing, 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 has to reinvent manned space travel, the structural difference between SpaceX and Boeing, and the funding in the Commercial Crew Development contract itself.

SpaceX was not only 1 year ahead, they already test their crew dragon 5 year before..

It was time to cancel the shuttle program. In fact the announcement of the end of the shuttle program was announced after the Columbia accident. You make it seem like Obama just cut the program in 2011

[williamgreene]

You forget to mention that Shotwell was also an engineer.

[avinfor]

Boeing greatly harmed US space advancement greatly profiting while doing so.

[grahamt]

Finally a company that wants to explore space wins the contract. Maybe we can start doing something now, rather than just looking upwards.

The ISS is more international and less Russian than you're claiming. There is a US lab, a Japanese lab, a European lab, several US/European-built nodes that serve many functions, US/European life support, and the huge truss with the solar panels and radiators, which is not Russian, either. The Russians definitely own and operate a minority of the modules, mainly the service module, which is crucial for station-keeping but no longer the sole source of life support. There is also a Russian cargo module and a few small Russian nodes that house a few experiments, but nearly all of the science work is done in the larger international lab modules.

The Russians intend to build out their section (the aft section) of the ISS, but haven't done so yet, after all of these years. Once they start doing that, then they might want to go off on their own, which they can do because there is a US service module already built and waiting on the ground for when it is needed, if ever. Then there would be a Russian space station and an ISS minus the Russian section.

I am counting down the hours to the launch on 5/21/2020 GO Doug and Bob!!!
Also, Gwynne Shotwell is an engineer that is also a salesman with a
Mechanical Engineering (B.Sc.), Applied Mathematics (M.Sc.)
She serves as Elon Musk's hammer. (And does a great job at it too)
The more I listen to this, the more you got really wrong! You are lucky to have even 810 subs. IMHO
*We DID have a space station of our own. SkyLab, an 80 ton payload which we put into orbit easily with ONE Saturn V launch. (Yes, it was killed by politicians too)

[scottpepper]

Boeing practically killed the space program with their gluttony, irresponsibility and piss poor management!

[history-stamp]

Symbolically started when Boeing moved it's head quarters from Seattle to Chicago.

[bobholland]

Boeing's form of management reminds me of the way the United States government is run. Way too many bureaucrats.

[CountArtha]

The U.S. and Soviet space programs started at the same time - but strictly speaking, the Russians announced their plans to launch an artificial satellite five days _after_ the Americans did. We think of the Americans as being behind because the Russians pushed for all the glamorous milestones (first orbit, first manned mission, first EVA) while the Americans took their time on the operational and engineering problems (first manual control of a spacecraft, first rendezvous, first docking).

1:23 Space Shuttle is spelled Endeavour, after Captain Cook's ship.

Hi TJ I went to Cape Canaveral this weekend to watch the launch of SpaceX it was cool but a bit faraway. Can you recommend a good spot for the next launch, a paying or a free spots wold be great please?
Thank you for all the good info you provide!

[CommentsOnScience]

I hope everyone remembers that SpaceX beat the management, cost, and shoestring process: It focuses on science and technology...

[banzaiib]

a year behind and $20 billion more expensive...

i just recently discovered this channel, i love these kind of contents so I'm subscribed 😁

The first manned space flight was on April 12, 1961. Russia put the astronaut Yuri Gregarin into orbit around the earth.

[ianrsigel]

Boeing's first mistake was claiming the 737 could be modified for space flight
when it wasn't yet ready for terrestrial flight.

[heavenstomurgatroyd]

In the space sector during the 1960s and ’70s, Boeing built the Lunar Orbiters, NASA’s first spacecraft to orbit the Moon (1966–67), and the Mariner 10 space probe, which took the first close-up pictures of the surface of Mercury (1974–75). It also designed and built the first stage of the Saturn V rockets that sent Apollo astronauts to the Moon and the battery-powered Lunar Roving Vehicles used in the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions, I wouldn't count them out just

[brunosmith]

Great explanatory summary of what is a very complex subject. Liked and subscribed.
