SAVE THE DATE. On Thursday, NASA announced that SpaceX’s Crew Dragon (its spacecraft designed to transport astronauts) will be ready for an uncrewed test in November 2018 and a crewed test in April 2019. Boeing’s comparable CST-100 Starliner, meanwhile, will be ready for an uncrewed test in late 2018/early 2019 and a crewed test in mid-2019, according to NASA.

If private, American companies, are doing it, why have NASA do it?

Because nasa is still the entity paying the private companies to do it. NASAs budget still matters.

Their goals are totally different and not a fair comparison.
