# Bemannte Raumfahrt is back: NASA beauftragt Boeing und SpaceX mit der Entwicklung neuer Shuttles

> NASA will spend $6.4 billion on two contracts to replace the space shuttle and ferry astronauts to the International Space Station. US aerospace giant Boeing will earn $4.2 billion and entrepreneur Elon Musk´s SpaceX will be paid $2.6 billion to develop their respective spacecraft. The former company is considered “the least risky option” (paywall), but upstart SpaceX´s system is cheaper and doesn´t rely on imported Russian parts.

Damit sie ab 2017 nicht mehr länger von den bösen Russen und deren Sojus-Kapseln abhängig sind. The [Space Race](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Race) is back again, too.
