The Crew Exploration Vehicle family must be developed and operated at much lower cost levels than current vehicles in order to win public support, while providing a higher level of safety. The Transformational Space Corporation (t/Space) is under contract to NASA show how this can be accomplished through government incentives for the development of privately‐owned infrastructure that sells services to both government and commercial space customers. This markets‐based approach rewards companies that focus on delivering affordable products quickly, rather than on following elaborate government‐supervised processes. The architecture developed by t/Space also eliminates the need to develop heavy‐lift vehicles and lunar landers, cutting in half NASA’s projected cost for the first human return to the Moon.
