NASA to live stream key Boeing Starliner spaceship ‘zero-zero’ test

On September 27, one day before Mr Musk’s presentation, the NASA head tweeted: “NASA expects to see the same level of enthusiasm focused on the investments of the American taxpayer. It’s time to deliver.”

Mr Bridenstine again cited the interest of the American taxpayer while revealing today Boeing’s Starliner test would be live streamed.

He tweeted: ”Thank you to @BoeingSpace. At my request, Monday’s @Commercial_Crew Starliner pad abort test will be broadcast live. Transparency for the taxpayer.

NASA’s interest in getting Commercial Crew off the ground and into orbit is not only about fiscal responsibility.
