Raja from Manassas asks, is there a theoretical maximum life for an orbiter or can it just be serviced and used over and over?

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.000
Are there any plans to build a new orbiter to replace Columbia?

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:17.000
Actually, the orbiters were designed to fly 100 times. So we still have a lot of life left in our orbiters.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.000
And we're not planning on building a new replacement orbiter.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:29.000
All our focuses in that regard are going to be to develop a new space vehicle that will allow us to go to the Moon and Mars and beyond.
