You May Or May Not Know The Details About The Shuttle’s
Replacement Launch Vehicle
On October 11, 2010 President Obama signed The NASA
Authorization Act of 2010. This placed into effect PL111-267 which
is the law that mandated that NASA must do specific things by
specific dates in order to bring to reality the government owned
launch system that is to be the next step beyond the shuttle.
Although, by law, NASA was supposed to produce a complete plan for
the nest launch system within 90 days of the law’s signing,
that release did not come until September 14, 2011- some 339 days
after the law was signed.
