USAF, SpaceX Close To Agreement On Launch Certification Plan, Aviation Week
“Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) and the U.S. Air Force are “days away” from agreeing on the details of a certification plan that would enable the private company to compete for national security payload launch contracts with the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy.”

  1. Somewhat o/t, but with the recent stellar rises in the share price of Tesla and Solar City Elon Musk seems on course to have a personal fortune of maybe $15B. Enough to get started on MCT do you think?

  2. With Congress bent on destroying Commercial Space at NASA (and maybe NASA along with it) it’s good that the AF is taking up the slack.
