NASA to use Russian Rockets if COTS Fails
If the companies selected by NASA for COTS fail to produce cargo delivery service to the ISS in 2010, NASA says they will buy seats from Russia. Currently SpaceX, the first COTS selection, is preparing to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Florida later this year. NASA is expected to make the selection of the other private company this month.
Update: Elon Musk has said: "There will be no gap in American access to the space station," Musk said in a statement.
