Elon Musk will send the first manned rocket to the ISS in may
Source:The Famous company SpaceX Elon musk for the first time send astronauts to the International space station in may, said NASA, announcing the first launch of a crew from the United States. In order to reach the orbit of our planet, the company of the beloved technology entrepreneur will launch a Falcon 9 rocket managed by NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, according to the portal . What caused the need for the launch of the first manned company Mask of a rocket and what it portends for his main competitor in the face of our “Roscosmos”?
NASA Astronauts will fly to the ISS on a rocket Elon musk
While the world tries to combat the world-famous playboy, philanthropist, and ingenious engineer Elon Musk is preparing for a Grand for his company SpaceX and the planet step — to launch the first manned rocket to the ISS with NASA astronauts on Board. It is reported that historic launch must occur no later than mid-late may 2020, marking a new era in the conduct of space flights. So, manned missions of private organizations to the ISS will deprive Russia of its ability to be proud of their unique technology to deliver people to orbit our planet, which has an impact on the income space Agency.
Even Though the practice of delivering cargo into Earth orbit with private companies already familiar to the modern person, technology “of the Russian space Agency” over several decades remained the main and almost the only available for the delivery of astronauts to the ISS. As you can guess, the ability to deliver crew to orbit a third party company can not only undermine the image of “Roscosmos”, but also can start a real race (no, not the arms!) in creating the space transport of the future. In the fight between Musk and the main space Agency of the Russian Federation can squeeze the third player — the Boeing company, which, as you know, has a contract with NASA, and even has its own spaceship project.

However, I doubt such ambitious plans in the short term, because there was not a single Space flight with X people on Board, never practiced docking with the ISS with people on Board and many more things which are necessary for such an ambitious experiment. Remember the famous meme «That's when you start to carry people to the ISS, then we'll talk»?
Here…
March 7, 2020 started the mission SpaceX CRS-20 that was able to travel around the world in orbit of a planet with a dummy on Board. Upon completion of the planned mission, the vehicle Mask is back in the Atlantic after six days spent in airless space. The businessman claims that the launch of the us space Shuttle was the last flight of the ship Dragon of the first generation in the future SpaceX plans to use the ships of the new generation of Dragon-2, is able to simultaneously deliver to orbit the planet up to four people.
SpaceX moon base
To create a “space taxi” plans Mask is not limited. After the successful launch of a new project the entrepreneur plans to develop ideas about making the moon a permanent manned base, whose implementation will help researchers in the deployment of a huge number of scientific programs that are impossible to conduct on earth. The ultimate goal of the American genius is the colonization of Mars in which he sees a place for in the event of an unforeseen fall on the asteroid.
will look Approximately so SpaceX moon base
Enough endless energy Mask embodiment of all of these incredible projects a reality, or on some of them the entrepreneur is simply not enough time and effort? Perhaps, time will tell. We can only wish good luck to Ilona and begin to follow the new turning the world with achievements.
previously wrote about the ambitious plans Ilona Mask in the conquest of outer space. It is known that his company is already developing projects for the introduction into our lives of space tourism, and that can not help but surprise, the team is very well possible.
