NASA does not want to be the owner and operator of the equipment, nor do we want to be the sole customer,” Bridenstine said after SpaceX’s historic launch. “We prefer that SpaceX and other companies attract new customers — not from NASA.”

And Hollywood fits this definition perfectly.

The White House has tasked NASA with returning astronauts to the Moon by 2024. To free up resources for the project, the agency has decided to hand off low-Earth orbit projects to commercial partners. In June 2019, the agency bangladesh number data announced that it would make the space station available for commercial projects and “will advance these capabilities like never before.”

“Private astronauts will be able to go to the space station on American ships, and companies will receive the associated profits,” said then-NASA CFO Jeff DeWit.

Seven months later, the agency entered into negotiations with Houston-based Axiom Space to attach a new module to the station. The company, led by Michael Suffredini, who was NASA's ISS manager from 2005 to 2015, plans to launch the Axiom segment in 2024. Before then, the company plans to send customers to the station on SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft. The first mission, with three passengers, including an experienced astronaut as a guide, is scheduled for fall 2021.

After the launch of SpaceX Demo-2, "everyone starts wondering who's next in line," Suffredini told the Associated Press.

Axiom has not officially announced its collaboration with Cruise, but Bridenstine confirmed the company's involvement in the project in an episode of the Off-Nominal podcast on June 15.
