Firmly held SpaceX right now flies its workhorse Falcon 9 and all the more dominant Falcon Heavy rockets for clients that incorporate Nasa, business satellite administrators and the US military. Nasa has contracted with Boeing and SpaceX to ship American space explorers to the International Space Station through what’s known as the Commercial Crew Program, yet the course of events for the program has more than once slipped, and it shows up impossible that either organization will fly the principal space explorers this year.
