NASA has announced that it has chosen Space X for its next mission to the Moon. Elon Musk’s aerospace company has won a $ 2.9 billion contract to build the spacecraft that will take US astronauts to Earth’s satellite. Musk’s company’s offer beat Jeff Bezos’, who had partnered with Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Draper. The contract with NASA marks another great victory for Space X which “thus rises to the top of the nation’s aerospace companies and is confirmed as one of the most trusted partners of the space agency,” writes the Washington Post.
