Looks like will increase its request for bailout money by $273M. Space operations have little if any margin of error. At least, if Sully had flown that rocket they would have landed in the ocean safely and recover the satellite.

The 273 million was just the cost of the satellite.

I dont know, isnt $273 million in NASA terms fairly small? Plus it was probally sabotaged by Al Gore because he didn't want it to uncover the trueth that greenhouse gases and global warming is a bunch of bullsh*t, lol.
