Commercial Spaceflight Federation Sells Out and Endorses SLS

Looks like @csf_spaceflight just endorsed SLS according to @Alanstern #FAACST — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) February 7, 2017 Observation: Odd that @csf_spaceflight would endorse use of SLS when it is a more expensive competitor to commercial launch options #FAACST — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) February 7, 2017 The battle between pro- and anti-commercial space factions in Trump administration continues to be waged. #CST2017 — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) February 7, 2017

When asked what a SLS launch cost Gerst said around $1 billion and maybe less over time #CST2017 — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) February 7, 2017 Gerst would not say yes or no as to whether the private sector would be allowed to compete for these launches #CST2017 — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) February 7, 2017 Gerst did say that an RFI was issued soliciting input from commercial sector WRT new procurement options #cst2017 — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) February 7, 2017
