BySethBorenstein The Associated Press WASHINGTON A rocket's dead, blown to bits in pub- lic view. Now it's time for "Rocket Science CSI." After 18 straight success- ful launches, SpaceX's Fal- con 9 rocket broke apart Sunday morning minutes after soaring away from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Lost with the rocket was a capsule packed with sup- plies for the crew on the In- ternational Space Station. In this whodunit, there are clues pointing to pres- sure problems in the second stage's liquid oxygen tank, SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted within hours. But that may be a red herring, and a former NASA shuttle chief warns against jump- ing to conclusions. "First impressions never are right," said Wayne Hale, who is on the board inves- tigating last year's launch pad failure of Orbital Sci- ences' Antares rocket, also carrying station cargo for NASA. Russia also lost a supply shipment in April when its Progress capsule spun out of control. The SpaceX investigation will be a lot like the crime dramas you see on televi- sion, complete with foren- sics examination of debris. Except it's not over in an hour. Most mishap inves- tigations take about a year, Hale said. Eight months later, Orbital's investiga- tion isn't done yet. The engineering detective work kicks in after all the in- formation is saved, includ- ing more than 3,000 chan- nels of data radioed from the rocket. In engineering- speak it's called a fault tree analysis. Engineers calcu- late everything that could go wrong and why. It's painstaking. It's pre- cise. It's logical, like the board game Clue, said re- tired space expert John Logsdon, who was on the board that investigated the 2003 space shuttle Colum- bia accident. "One by one eliminate ev- erything that it could not be until you get down to hope- fully relatively few possibil- ities," Logsdon said. "It's a complex mystery with mul- tiple suspects." It all comes down to one question: Why? "You have to ask why seven times, that's the rule of thumb," said Hale You find one thing that went wrong, then ask why that happened, and keep go- ing, asking why about seven times until you find the root cause, he said. Here's what we know so far according, to SpaceX of- ficials: • The Sunday's accident occurred about 28 miles off the ground when the rocket was going more than 3,100 mph. • The first stage of the rocket — the part that gets it off the ground — worked fine, even after the rest of the rocket started break- ing apart. Its nine engines fired well. • The second stage — which gets the capsule into orbit — had high pressure readings in the liquid ox- ygen tank, according to Musk's tweet. • The Dragon capsule survived at first and sent back data. Before dawn Monday— about 16 hours after the rocket broke apart — Musk, tweeted: "cause still un- known after several thou- sand engineering-hours of review." Spa c eX president Gwynne Shotwell told re- porters Sunday that be- cause the private company made nearly all the parts in the rocket, it will be easier and quicker to investigate: "I'm sure we'll find it rap- idly." In the meantime, Sun- day's accident has post- poned the SpaceX launch of a sea-measuring satel- lite for the National Oce- anic and Atmospheric Ad- ministration scheduled for early August, according to NOAA spokesman John Leslie. That launch is also on a Falcon 9 rocket.

By Dan Perry and George Jahn The Associated Press CAIRO The Iranian nu- clear talks are playing out in classic fashion: A self- imposed deadline appears to have been extended due to stubborn disputes, with the sides publicly sticking to positions and facing in- ternal pressure from oppo- nents ready to pounce on any compromise. Should the talks actually collapse, the alternatives are not appealing. The war op- tion that the United States has kept on the table has few fans, and the world commu- nity does not seem willing to impose truly crippling sanc- tions. A dangerous period of uncertainty looms. Which way it goes may depend on which side needs a deal the most. Iran might seem the weaker party, with sanctions harming its econ- omy. But its authoritarian re- gime puts up a convincingly brave front, and the Obama Administration, with its legacy on the line, seems at least as determined to con- clude a deal. Israel and Sunni Arab countries like Saudi Ara- bia fear any scenario where Iran — a Shiite power with a theocratic government in- volved in conflicts all around the region — is even close to a bomb. Deeply skeptical of Iran's promises or of the West's ability to not be hood- winked, they have no desire to see the deal that appears to be coming. Here are some disquiet- ing scenarios and questions to consider: Awaroption? The Obama administra- tion continues to say it has the option of using military force to stop Iran from get- ting a nuclear weapon, should diplomacy fail. It does not provide details publicly, but military offi- cials acknowledge that the most likely form of U.S. at- tack would be aerial bomb- ing of Iranian nuclear fa- cilities, some of which are deep underground. There likely are numerous varia- tions on the drawing table. Depending on the op- tion picked by Obama, the U.S. military could call on a wide range of forces in such an attack, including one or more aircraft carri- ers, a full array of fighters, bombers and other com- bat aircraft stationed in or near the Middle East, and special operations forces that might be used to res- cue downed pilots or enter Iran on sabotage or other secret missions. Iran has a substantial air defense system — and Rus- sia earlier this year lifted its self-imposed ban on sales to Iran of the advanced S-300 air defense missile. But even after Iranian deployment of such missiles, Obama says U.S. warplanes could pene- trate Iranian airspace. Still,seniorPentagonlead- ers have publicly stressed the limitations of bombing, saying it likely would de- lay Iran's development of a bomb by no more than three years while strengthening its inclination to covertly go nu- clear — like other countries like North Korea and Israel have done. More sanctions? It seems the world is not prepared to truly bring Iran to its knees by shut- ting off the flow of capital and goods. That would in- volve a tremendously ex- pensive and politically ex- plosive land and sea block- ade as well as a militarily enforced no-fly zone across a country 2- times the size of Texas. That leaves stiffer sanc- tions as the only realistic way to pressure Tehran ec- onomically. But even that could be a tough sell out- side the U.S. The Iranian people who would suffer are largely captive, and some countries, like China, India and Japan, still depend on diminished but still signifi- cant exports of Iranian oil. Iran is also a vast mar- ket that companies big and small are eager to tap. The longer sanctions stay in place, the greater the incen- tive for firms to find ways around them — potentially lessening the impact of any ratcheting up. The U.S. has had sanc- tions against Iran in place ever since the Iranian Revo- lution in 1979 and has tight- ened them several times in the years to include Teh- ran's crucial oil and bank- ing sectors. There would be little to stop politicians in Washington from imposing even tougher measures on Tehran should talks break down and hopes for a deal fall through. A different process? After the initial recrim- inations, both sides are likely to look for ways to salvage the progress made over the past two years in reducing tensions and low- ering the chance of a new Mideast war over Iran's nu- clear program. Iran says it will continue to honor the Non-Prolifer- ation Treaty and its obliga- tions with the UN's nuclear agency — meaning limited monitoring of its declared nuclear activities. But there willbegreatsuspicionandIs- rael and others may ratchet up the covert war on the Ira- nianprogram;mysteriousex- plosions, deaths and cyber- sabotage can be expected. Iran may be ready to re- sume talks if alternatives arise to physical inspection of the non-nuclear sites. One possibility is advanced measuring instruments based on samples from sur- rounding areas, or samples taken by a mutually trusted Iranian expert while IAEA inspectors await just out- side the sites. NEGOTIATIONS For world, limited options are available if Iran nuclear talks fall apart CARLOS BARRIA — POOL U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry sits between U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, le , and Atomic Energy Agency Director General Yukiya Amano during a meeting in Vienna, Austria, on Monday. By Jim Kuhnhenn The Associated Press WASHINGTON In a rare bipartisan scene at the White House, President Barack Obama on Mon- day signed into law two hard-fought bills giving him greater authority to negotiate international trade deals and provid- ing aid to workers whose jobs are displaced by such pacts. The measures were politically linked to se- cure bipartisan support for the trade legislation, and they set the stage for the Obama adminis- tration to conclude ne- gotiations on a 12-na- tion Pacific Rim eco- nomic pact. "I thought I'd start off the week with some- thing we should do more often, a truly bipartisan bill signing," Obama said in a crowded East Room ceremony. Five Demo- cratic and two Repub- lican members of Con- gress watched as Obama affixed his name to the two bills. The trade bill gives Congress the right to approve or reject trade agreements, but not change or delay them. Obama defied the wishes of most members of his Democratic Party and frayed relations with or- ganized labor to push the legislation. The worker assistance was part of a broader trade preferences bill that extends a measure easing trade between the U.S. and sub-Saharan Af- rica. WASHINGTON Ob am a signs trade, worker bills into law By Kevin Freking The Associated Press WASHINGTON Some In- dian tribes may have a clearer path toward fed- eral recognition under a new Obama adminis- tration rule that relaxes some requirements and speeds decision-making, potentially affecting hun- dreds of groups. Federalacknowledgment means a tribe is treated as a nation within a nation, able to set up its own gov- ernment, legal system, and taxes and fees. Recogni- tion also brings critical fed- eral investments in medi- cal care, housing and edu- cation. It also can lead to tribes opening casinos in future years through a sep- arate approval process. In all, there are 566 federal recognized tribes. Hundreds more want to join their ranks. The new regulation up- dates a 37-year-old process that has been roundly crit- icized as broken because of the many years and mounds of paperwork that typicallywentintoeachap- plication. But the effort to address those criticisms generated a backlash of its own,withsomelawmakers andexistingtribeswithca- sino operations complain- ing that the administra- tion's original proposals set the bar too low. Kevin Washburn, an assistant secretary at the Department of Interior, announced the regulation Monday during a National Congress of American In- dians conference in Min- nesota.
