With no single problem common to all the failures, many believe the place to look for answers is less in the guts of the missiles than in the offices of the companies launching them. A wave of defense-industry mergers has resulted in handoffs of businesses ranging from cruise missiles to space stations. Another problem may be brain drain. As the wizened engineers who first got the country into space have retired--or been downsized--they've often been replaced by younger, lower-cost ones.
