CaptainPanic Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I think the general idea is to leave the ordinary launch vehicles to the commercial companies, like Ariane Space, SpaceX, Sea Launch, etc. The official follow up on the Space Shuttle is the Ares program (Ares I and Ares V). But I am not sure why NASA bother with that, when the commercial companies seem capable of launching stuff into orbit already. Either you privatize and outsource, or you don't. To do both is a little weird to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
