NASA is holding a press conference Monday, August 29th at 10:00 AM EDT to discuss their options following the Russian launch vehicle failure. Let’s try our best to be positive through this difficult time for manned spaceflight. Also, if you’re in Hurricane Irene’s path, stay safe out there.

oh no, the situation seems worse than I thought. I thought the ISS being deserted was only the worst case scenario, but it seems more likely than that.
I really hope this won't put a brake on manned space explorations.
