Constellation review expected

The Obama administration this week may order a review of the spacecraft program NASA hoped would replace the space shuttle, according to the Orlando Sentinel. The review would examine whether the Ares I rocket and Orion capsule are the best options to send astronauts into orbit by 2015. The review of the Constellation program could be finished by fall.
