This was enough to justify – at least on paper – investing in theShuttle.”1 NASA was so confident in its ability to achieve routine access to space through theshuttle that it planned to phase out of expendable launch vehicles (ELV’s) such as the Atlas,Titan, and Delta rockets. In reality, NASA only
