Interviewer: Boeing is known for airplanes, but they actually have a long history in space.

Since NASA's beginning Boeing has been a contractor on every manned space program
including building the parts for the International Space Station.

Speaker 2: Boeing it’s been in human space flight from day 1 and so, it’s just a part of our core

Interviewer: NASA is hosting a competition for private enterprise to build a spacecraft to transport
humans to the International Space Station. Winning this contract will cement dominance in the new
space race.

Speaker 2: we see this is just the next huge job oportunity for Boeing and for NASA

Interviewer: how big do you expect the market to be?

3: development prices itself…is such a huge barrier. Just very different bussiness model in Boeing
history. Our huge development programm are tipically centered around comercial airplanes,
military aircrafts, where there is a lot of orders, and right now fundation of the bussiness is two
flights a year.

1: And Boeing hopes that those flights will be made in their CST-100 capsule, their well weldless
design makes their crafts stronger and lighter than traditional models.
1.- how may i get inside the space capsule?

4: inaudible

1: okay.

1:how many austranouts will fly in this capsule?

3,,-Right now, we configured it to fly up to five, but the C-S-T-100 is designed for up to seven. We
have asignificant experience servicing capsules from Mercury, and Gemini and Apollo, the capsule
was an easy decision

1What about comfort? This isn't exactly the most comfortable position I have ever been in.

3: No, absolutely, but because of the potential with different anomalies, you can have a very rough landing.
Weneeded to make sure that this design would satisfy even the roughest potential landing.

1: Chris Ferguson piloted America's last shuttle and his new mission is to get Boeing's commercial
space programoff the ground.

This is the simulator for the C-S-T-100?

5: Yes. This is gonna be what we call our engineering simulator.

1: how similar is commadning a spaceshift to piloting an airplane?.

1-If you sit here and you look at this cockpit and you say, "Wow, looks like I am in a fighter
airplane." Boeing hasbeen building fighter airplanes for decades, so we were able to take a lot of
the expertise, and actually involve alot of the people who designed these cockpits so they can be a
part of this right here.

1: Do you think that that lineage in history gives Boeing a leg up over their competitors?

5: I would like to think so. Of course Boeing was the prime contractor to build this spaceship.
