Who do the Dragon astronauts work for? Are they Space X or NASA guys?

Great performance! Perfect landing. I have to admit i shiver every time a manned rocket takes off. All you can see is the huge fire trail!
"The program for manned NASA missions with space shuttles of commercial companies had started under Barack Obama."
Lets Celebrate Obama!

Nice try - Obama destroyed the space program.
Trump has reinvigorated NASA. NASA themselves - the lead for the program said exactly that.

I see.
Sounds like you are having a problem accepting that Trump has delivered and America is back in the space race, after it was crippled by the last idiot President.
Maybe you should have just enjoyed the American success, but I guess you are too bitter.
so im betting trump is giddy as a school girl today
After that anticlimax, the US president will be pinning his hopes on a spectacle loaded with patriotic and political symbolism. Nine years after the space shuttle program fizzled out under Barack Obama, Trump wants to witness astronauts lift off from American soil once again.The mission, billed as “Launch America”, also offers a welcome diversion from the coronavirus pandemic. Trump may hope that it will boost his optimistic narrative that the country is regaining its swagger – and show him reaching for the stars even as his earthbound rival Joe Biden stews in his basement.
But while the astronauts wear sleek spacesuits and operate touchscreens that point to the future, their adventure is also redolent of the past: nostalgia for an age of perceived American exceptionalism and “we can do anything” spirit embodied by the Apollo missions to the moon. In Trump’s view, a time when America was “great”.
