NASA has the equipment and supplies for four additional space flights on the shuttle, officials announce and reported by a WESH-TV video from Florida Friday. In a news conference NASA revealed that it can produce three additional fuel tanks in 2012-2013 and enable four additional space shuttle flights beyond the current manifest ending in September 2010.The cost of continuing the space shuttle flights with the additional hardware is staggering and could place additional pressure on the $6-billion proposed to enable commercial space launch providers in the President's NASA FY 2011 budget submission to the Congress if adopted.
A rally is being planned in Florida to push the idea of continuing the space shuttle and continue with the Constellation program. Planners hope to draw 5,000 people to the 4 p.m. Sunday, April 11 at the Cocoa Expo near Interstate 95 and state Road 520 in Cocoa.
