The crew of the International Space Station is in no danger of running out of food or other critical supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOrbital has demonstrated extraordinary capabilities in its first two missions to the station earlier this year, and we know they can replicate that success. Launching rockets is an incredibly difficult undertaking, and we learn from each success and each setback.
