“There are many in the private sector that are eager to develop commercially viable space transportation systems,” said Scott Horowitz, associate administrator, NASA’s Exploration Systems Mission Directorate. “In the future, the commercial sector will provide cost effective access to space for both crew and cargo. While NASA must develop its own capabilities for space exploration, the commercial sector will eventually provide these services when it becomes cost effective.”
