Star Wars: The Battle to Build the Next Shuttle

Please note that this is a May 2014 video release, so much has happened since and I will attempt to find the next update and post it for you!

Since the end of the NASA shuttle program, we have been totally dependent on the Russian Space Program to send and return astronauts to the International Space Station... We need to take this back and have our own means of getting astronauts to and from the ISS! This video delves into the private companies who are in process of creating that shuttle process with new craft... Space X and Boeing are two of the companies involved... I hope you all enjoy this scientific NASA based program with private company design and manufacture.

Bloomberg's "The Next Space Race" is a journey through the booming business of space exploration. The International Space Station is a near zero-gravity laboratory dedicated to scientific research. The end of NASA's shuttle program in 2011 left the world with only one way to get there, buy a seat from the Russians. NASA is holding a competition challenging private enterprise to build America's next spacecraft. Boeing, SpaceX, and Sierra Nevada are all multi-billion dollar aerospace companies competing to win the NASA contract that could cement dominance in the emerging space industry. Bloomberg gets rare access to these space pioneers, including a tour of SpaceX with CEO Elon Musk. (Source: Bloomberg)
