Waco Tribune
“The company that shook much of McLennan County with its Nov. 22 rocket engine test is pushing to complete a $278 million NASA contract that includes docking with the international space station….
“NASA is making SpaceX jump through hoops, so to speak. It wants to gauge the company’s capability to haul cargo and crews to the international space station between 2010 and 2015.
“’To date, we have met all of NASA’s milestones or are ahead of schedule on meeting them,’ [spokeswoman Lauren] Dreyer said, adding that the company receives a payment toward that $278 million upon each accomplishment.”
