SpaceX's super strong missile, more worried about it than you like
With a painful history of 14 astronauts killed in two shuttle accidents, the US Space Agency (NASA) is worried about SpaceX's super-powerful missiles that will be deadly .
When technology billionaire and expert group SpaceX think hard about how to become stronger, they come up with a creative idea: to keep propellant at super-cold temperature to shrink its size, allowing They added more to the container.
But the disadvantages of the technology are high risks . To keep it at that temperature, the fuel needs to be loaded just before the rocket takes off - with astronauts sitting inside.
An accident or a small fire in the step above (called "load and go" ) can trigger an explosion.

Therefore, SpaceX's proposal made the US Congress and NASA safety advisors extremely alert as the company plans to bring astronauts into orbit this year.
NASA's concern about human safety peaked in September 2016, when a Falcon 9 rocket exploded while being powered before running the engine test. No one was hurt but an expensive satellite was destroyed.
Observers in the United States commented on the somewhat tense atmosphere between a conservative, conservative NASA and a rebellious SpaceX Company, "daring to think of doing it" run by billionaire Musk.
Elon Musk, the man who used to sell on the Internet, is known for being reckless and willing to play. It was he who aroused interest in space with extraordinary inventions such as re-used missiles, or gossip like launching a Tesla car on Mars.
Musk's adventurous blood clashes with NASA's bureaucratic system, which has long been criticized for "over-conservative" after two incidents that killed 14 astronauts, according to the Washington Post.
SpaceX supporters argue that the old and traditional way of thinking may be the enemy of invention, undermining the pioneering efforts to explore the universe.
"NASA was supposed to be a dose-playing organization, but every time we mentioned the risk of people saying they" but he had to remember some accidents in the past ". They became victims. of the past and not daring to try something new "- Greg Autry, Southern California University professor who worked for NASA, recounted.

In a recent speech, former NASA leader Robert Lightfoot also lamented how the agency operated.
"To be honest, if we are going to launch in an environment of fear and fear as now, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong will never get to the Moon" - Mr. Lightfoot coal.
NASA made a rather complicated request for companies like space technology like SpaceX and Boeing: the risk of death should not be greater than 1 per 270 flights.
Mr. Lightfoot said that to make sure there was only one way to . never fly."The safest place is still standing on the ground" - he said.
