SpaceX Vs Nasa: What's The Difference?
We just want to highlight the operational differences between SpaceX and NASA. NASA has achieved truly incredible things, but will the organisation have to move over for Elon Musk’s amazing spacecraft technologies? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe for more videos:https://www.youtube.com/c/InsaneCuriosity?sub_confirmation=1?

Is comparing NASA and SpaceX fair? Well it’s not quite that simple. One is a government agency that’s been there for decades and the other is a young private company hungry for more. So sometimes it may seem that’s its unfair to compare these two. But in general we can compare their cost efficiency and their rockets. NASA, or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was created in 1958 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act. According to the act, NASA’s space exploration would forever be “devoted to peaceful purposes for the benefit of all mankind.” But despite of the peaceful conception, it was formed primarily as a response to the Soviet Union who had already put something into the orbit before the USA. And in a few decades NASA went on from a little aerospace entity to a full fledged advance organisation capable of putting humans on the surface of moon. NASA had a strong competitor, the Soviets which not only fuelled their growth but also the mindset of people. But since the cold war ended, things changed. NASA didn’t had the same enthusiast as before which is evident of the fact that since the 1972, there hasn’t been a man to moon. But in the last few years a new golden era begun in space industry because of the revived interest of people in space. And one of the main reason behind that is SpaceX. SpaceX, created by multitalented tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, was founded on May 6, 2002. Musk is eventually planning on colonising mars which he has made it clear several times. Musk has also said that by 2024, SpaceX will have completed a manned mission to Mars. And in the summer 2020, SpaceX became the first private company to send astronauts into space. The United States has not launched its own astronauts into space since the Space Shuttle Program ended in 2011. Since then, Nasa has had to pay Russia for its Soyuz rockets to take American astronauts to space. It paid more than $3 billion for SpaceX to design, build, test and operate its reusable capsule for six future space round trips. So, why NASA hasn’t used its own spacecrafts? Well lets start the comparison between SpaceX and NASA and see what is wrong with NASA’s plan! The question we must first ask is who has the most funding and the more advanced technology. Elon musk himself is the third richest man as of October 2020, and is worth over 100 billion dollars. SpaceX has raised over $1.9 billion in new funding in August, representing its largest single fundraising round to date. SpaceX makes most of its money from delivering payloads for NASA and launching commercial satellites into space. NASA on the other hand has suffered from underfunding over the years which is one of the reasons why progress regarding the exploration of space has been ponderous since the moon landing. In 2016, President Barack Obama increased the budget of around half a billion dollar bringing the total budget to 19 billion dollars. In 2020, the trump administration called for an increase of 3 billion dollars in NASA’s budget for the lunar landing on 2024 but it was denied by the House Appropriations Committee. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If You happen to see any content that is yours, and we didn't give credit in the right manner please let us know at: Lorenzovareseaziendale@gmail.com and we will correct it immediately" "Some of our visual content is under a Attribution-ShareAlike license.
