CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A Russian space station supply ship failed to reach orbit and crashed with a thunderous boom into Siberia on Wednesday, rattling NASA and others in this new era without any shuttles to bail out the orbiting outpost.
The launch failure occurred barely a month after NASA's final space shuttle flight.
While the International Space Station has more than enough supplies, the rocket accident threatens to delay the launch of the next crew, just one month away. That's because the upper stage of the Soyuz rocket that failed is similar to the ones used to launch astronauts.
