Space X Elon Musk Calls Out The Air Force On Rocket Contract

submitted by eric3579

1 decade 2 weeks ago

Space X founder Elon Musk was at the Press Club on April 25, 2014 for a news conference about the Falcon 9 rocket which recently completed its mission and returned for a "soft" landing in the ocean off Cape Canaveral. This shows that SpaceX's rockets may be recoverable and reusable which would have major implications for the cost of space missions in the future.

During the news conference Musk also announced that SpaceX was bringing suit against the Air Force to open up procurement to competition for the launch of national security satellites. Musk disclosed that the contract is currently being sole-sourced to a company that uses Russian-made engines. The company that makes those rockets is controlled by Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Rogozin, who is now under sanctions as a result of his country's actions in Ukraine. -YouTube
