NASA Head: “No Doubt” SpaceX Explosion Delayed Flight Program

NASA head Jim Bridenstine announced that the SpaceX capsule explosion earlier this year has delayed the space agency's plans for crewed missions.

Back in April, a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule exploded during a static test.

The plan was for NASA to use SpaceX — or another contractor — to shuttle astronauts to the International Space Station as the American agency moved away from its partnership with Russia. But now NASA head Jim Bridenstine says that the search for a replacement rocket-maker isn’t going as planned.
