the u.s. is launching a fresh bid for dominance in space as the nation's 1st privately built rocket gets set to take off with u.s. astronauts on board joints or joint operation within the must space x. would mean the end of hitching rides with russia to the international space station and could see commercial space tourism on the rise. if all goes to plan it will be the dawning of a new era in space travel that the launch of the full k'naan rocket with its manned dragon capsule will end america's dependence on russia for access to space the joint operation between nasa and space x. led by the pay pal and tesla founder either musk should open up much cheaper space travel. you would have never thought you know after we landed atlantis back in 2011 that you know 9 years later we would be where we are in some ways and
8:08 pm
it's. better than i would have imagined and so many of. the space shuttles used in the past were enormous complex and massively expensive every flight swallowed up half a $1000000000.00 with space x. the cost should be somewhere between $60.00 and $90000000.00 the tracking capsule is much smaller than a space shuttle and the interior is more sophisticated than this tesla car sent up as dummy cargo joining an earlier test. a successful launch could give space x. a head start in commercial space and travel tourism its rival the boeing starliner end of the test flight early because of a software problem so space x. is crew being careful not to raise expectations there are just so many technical factors and things that we need to focus on to make sure that we pull this off that our place and history or you know even trying to put our names in the same sentence
8:09 pm
as the folks who have come before us is it seems premature until and until we've pulled it off and. if there are problems with the launch rocket the capsule can detach itself and make an emergency landing extensive testing has so far yielded positive results. the. police the only negative results have been the astronauts tests for covert 19. there's always issues space is hard obviously but we want to hit all the hit all the boxes do everything we need to do to demonstrate that this vehicle is capable of taking ash nights' up from us well. as often as nasa will allow us to do sell. after a 19 hour flight the astronauts will stay in orbit for a month to back up the international space station hopes for

a new era in space travel will be riding with them. more on this now from science writer keith tully cowing rather is the editor of the space news website nasa watch. we. have bob behnken the astronaut there speaking about making history is this really a new era in space travel. i think it is i was at the very 1st space shuttle launch in 1901 i was at the last 1. 9 years ago so it's been nearly a decade since americans of launched americans from america so in that sense there are many people have never seen this happen so it's historic but it's a sort we're not the reason this is a commercial space craft it's not something that nasa built something that the house of paid for in a private company built so that's a radical departure from how we have been putting people into space for the past half century. of always saying to start was postponed to to bad weather how
