NOT many appreciate the significance of shuttle capabilities, cots a bunch of nonsense!
Accidents happen. That's especially true of space flight, one of humankind's more complicated and dangerous endeavors, and it's a truth that was spectacularly illustrated this week when a rocket blew up ferrying supplies to the International Space Station.
The rocket was supplied by Orbital Sciences Corp., which has a $1.9 billion contract with NASA to shuttle cargo to the station. The investigation into the explosion is sure to raise questions about the role of the private sector in carrying out U.S. space policy. But it's also worth asking an underlying question: What exactly is U.S. space policy?
