The alternative to the Shuttle was the Russian Soyuz launch vehicles for ferrying astronauts to and from the International Space Station. Soyuz cost the agency $441 million for a seven astronaut flight. SpaceX’s Dragon capsule, on the other hand, promises to cut this to one-third, or approximately $140 million. > However, reducing costs of cargo and astronaut transportation aren’t Elon Musk’s only goals. SpaceX’s CEO also intends to create a space-based internet in order to improve accessibility and bring down costs. The project is dubbed Starlink and it’s one of Musk’s most ambitious plans – except for the Mars mission.
