Might have been - I’m not sure. Apparently NASA has had to pay Russia’ space agency £70 million for each astronaut on the Soyuz rocket, so it makes sense to try to find another solution and pool their resources with a private company. I expect their budget has been cut so much that they can’t do it on their own anymore. @Ruthler

@Oneofthestormboys I honestly don't know how much money space x has been saving if at all.
They haven't been very open about that despite it being their number 1 selling point.

Totally agree. Something the planet can collectively rejoice over. It’s not even about nationalities, it’s way bigger than that. That’s why I love it and am fascinated by space and discovery.@Fallenfromgrace

@MarkPaul They're in the TMI portion of the program now, talking about flushing their waste, using a water bottle.

@Northwest Hahaha!!

@Northwest I wasn't expecting they had to account for everything. I suppose it's to be sure nothing is left out.

@Adstar Ace isn’t it?

@Oneofthestormboys Glad it has gone well.. All they need do now is pressurize the vestable and open up the doors.. That might take a while.. It's 12:32 am here in Australia so they are directly north of us now.. Time for me to get to bed.. I will check up on the progress tomorrow.. 🙂
