In reality, Dragon’s mission is not a libertarian adventure. Rather, it is the result of a deeply collaborative effort between SpaceX and NASA that could change the way we go to space, just like past public-private partnerships that gave us railroads and commercial air travel. When it became clear during the Bush Administration that the space shuttle program was coming to an end, NASA had to figure out how to transport cargo and humans to the ISS, which wasn’t going anywhere. The technology needed to go to low Earth orbit is firmly established and, according to Mike Horkachuk, a NASA project executive working with SpaceX, the private sector was ready to step up. In 2006, NASA began actively investing in private spaceflight companies through a program called Commercial Orbital Transportation Services.
