USAF releases review of launch failures

Article Abstract:

The US Air Force released a review of recent space launch failures, citing a premature shift in focus from existing launch programs to the next- generation Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicles as one of the underlying causes. The review, headed by retired Gen Larry D Welch, former Air Force Chief of Staff, concluded that both the government and private sectors limited important fly-out activities as they started studying future systems.

Lawmakers urge Rumsfeld to proceed with F-22

Article Abstract:

Fifty-nine members of Congress petitioned Sec of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to maintain funding of the F-22 fighter plane, as it is a necessary weapon in the military arsenal. Low-rate production of the plane was encouraged in part because of the investment already made in the plane and the need for it.

Article Abstract:

The formerly grand designs of US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's force evaluation, and the moderation of new Senate Armed Services chairman Carl Levin prove that defense policy is mostly bipartisan, and that change comes only slowly.
