That's what happens when you try to save a few bucks by outsourcing  |
Something different happens then USA use
their own rockets. Do you remember Challenger? For example after the Columbia incident, ALL the US astronauts
were sent to the space on Russian rockets only, within about next 2years. Its not a tragedy when a satellite is being sent to a lower orbit. But when the US rocket blows up it's a different case, right? How many Russian cosmonauts died due to rocket launch incidents?
ZERO! Now try to count the Americans. Any questions?
