THE CBS EVENING NEWS yesterday, in coverage of the Antares rocket explosion, asked whether that accident may mark the end of NASA's use of commercial launch services.
It won't. The commercial launch sector, accidents notwithstanding, continues to develop. NASA has contracted with two of those firms, Orbital Sciences and SpaceX, to supply ISS. NASA lacks the money to develop its own family of rockets, and Congress is not about to fund such a program.
CBS News, unfortunately, chose easy hype over laying out the factual situation.
