Summary
| Description | MS. STILSON: Raja from Manassas asks, is there a theoretical maximum life for an orbiter or can it just be serviced and used over and over? Are there any plans to build a new orbiter to replace Columbia? MR. LYONS: Actually, the orbiters were designed to fly 100 times. So we still have a lot of life left in our orbiters. And we're not planning on building a new replacement orbiter. All our focuses in that regard are going to be to develop a new space vehicle that allows us to go to the moon and Mars and beyond. |
