"NEW YORK (AP) -- Orbital Sciences says it will likely stop using the type of engines
that were employed when its unmanned Antares commercial supply rocket
bound for the
International Space Station exploded moments after liftoff last week.
Lets see, some ancient Russian engines that had been hanging around in a
warehouse for nearly half a century gave trouble, and turned out not to
be such a bargain after all....
I read the story as: its a old (proven) russian design, and newly made by Aerojet Rocketdyne in California
Well the latest news said that in fact the rockets were 40 YEARS OLD with some minor refurbishment. Fixy Schwinn 10 speeds are OK for riding around Brooklyn, but Rooskie Fixy rockets shouldn't be used to get to low earth orbit.
