Ok, so they had a major mishap that cost them lives and equipment dedicated to their Space endeavors. Brazil is still years ahead of many other industrialized nations when it comes to making money with Space technology. Now they have enlisted the help of the Russians to rebuild Alcantara Launch Center and train a Brazilian astronaut to fly aboard International Space Station next year.
If we are not careful, U.S. Astronauts will be hitching a ride with the Brazilians when the shuttle fleet is finally grounded.
