On Dec. 3, NASA announced three U.S. companies that would receive over $400 million in government funding to develop commercial space stations – Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, Nanoracks and Northrop Grumman.

The International Space Station, which is now more than 20 years old, is facing retirement within the next decade and the agency is turning to the private sector in its search for a replacement.
