In all of the discussions about the schedule of Aries/Orion, retiring
the shuttle, and using the Soyuz for transportation to the ISS, why does NASA ignore the work of SpaceX and their Dragon spacecraft? Seems to me that after the Dragon proves itself in flight, it would be a good option to lease flights to NASA |

But why is there little discussion of using the Dragon INSTEAD of the Soyuz for ISS transportation needs. |

I guess it is off-topic here as it is not history, but future projects |
