I asked if SpaceX’s “distraction” could affect its work with the space agency. NBC News reported. Nelson said Shotwell reassured him otherwise.

NASA is currently considering whether SpaceX can help rescue residents of the International Space Station, including one astronaut and two from Russia’s Roscomos. According to CNETRussia’s Soyuz capsule suffered a coolant leak in December, prompting officials to determine if the spacecraft could safely bring the crew home, or if emergency measures should be taken instead.
