Morning Brief: June 29
Astronauts at the International Space Station are going to have to wait a little longer to get supplies. The NASA's just had it's third cargo failure with the explosion of the SpaceX rocket. The astronauts have enough food and supplies to last them until the end of October, but with three failed cargo missions, someone might start to worry. It's also worrisome for NASA's future. The agency's already faced major budget cuts and multiple mission failures definitely don't look good when trying to get money. Both NASA and commercial space industry supporters remain optimistic, but only time will tell whether that optimism is justified.
