Privatisation of Space

NASA has been privatising space travel, they have been reaching out to private companies to make spaceships for them. 
They have so far given out two contracts, one to SpaceX and one to Boeing. The two companies make space vehicles that bring astronauts to the international space station. 

They believe that private companies would deliver space vehicles more efficiently and with a smaller budget. 

Recently the Boeing Star liner space capsule has had some serious faults and has been forced to return to earth without the astronauts.
