having boeing there with spacex will be a great competition to watch. >> you have been inside spacex's -- capsule. what technology sets it apart from what else is out there? >> of course, utilizing the latest technology is allowing them to wait, they have to work on reusability to reduce cost. the fact that the shuttle was developed so long ago, there are just in measurable differences. the competition is all doing the same thing. i think what elon musk and spacex have done is to be up to integrate everything themselves, to be able to really lower cost and increase the amount of time they could get it in. given it is unheard of to have something like an anomaly and turn it around 24 hours, think that would have taken the government and contractor weeks to do. a lot of that innovation is in operation in technology and frankly in a culture that is really driving to do things differently. >> what about just -- jeff bezos, the ceo of amazon who has many private base operations -- aspirations. does he have nasa's year? ear?asa's yea >> yes. i'm equally bullish on jeff bezos. a number of vis
