NASA seems BELIEVE that COTS companies will succeed (in their effort
to develop, build and launch low cost rockets and capsules) since has
already given them $500M of funds, has opened the doors of its
research centers, has included the COTS service in its flights
manifest and will soon allow the COTS companies (first SpaceX) to
launch their rockets from KSC, so... Why don't MERGE (both) ESAS and
COTS vehicles (also) for moon missions?
