[oasis-members] Fuel leak blamed in SpaceX setback

[Craig E. Ward]

A side bar article in today's local paper (Daily Breeze) said that 
the reason for the March 24 failure of the Falcon I rocket was "a 
corroded aluminum nut that allowed fuel to leak onto the main 
engine."  A loss of pressure resulted and shut down the engine.

Accorrding to the article, SpaceX plans to launch two more Falcon 
vehicles this year.
