Orbital and SpaceX to fly again for first time after rockets exploded - The Washington Post

Suddenly, the so-called golden age of commercial space flight was more molten orange than gilded. And the widespread belief that the industry was finally, at long last, ready to take flight once again had to yield to questions about whether it really can be entrusted with a mission so difficult that traditionally only governments performed it.

Now the question is: can commercial flight rebound and endure?"
