This Week in Space: Bolden, Orbital Sciences on Human-Rating and Race with SpaceX


On this edition of "This Week in Space" - the NASA Administrator hits some Congressional turbulence over NASA's new budget, shuttles Endeavour and Discovery are on the move, new pics of ice geysers on one of Saturn's moons, Orbital Sciences says its safety first for its new commercial spaceship, astro-immigrants are spotted in the Milky Way, and Miles O'Brien testifies to the Senate on NASA's future.

Special note at 13:40 to 20:58 into the above-linked YouTubeVid with the interview of former NASA astronaut-tuned Senior VP at Orbital Sciences Corp Frank Culberston. He talks about the potential race with SpaceX to be the first commercial carrier to the ISS. Folks will be watching the Wallops Island and Cape Canaveral commercial launch pads!
