No offense meant, however I think many are missing the point. Situations like this are exactly the time for the Administartor to be out there pushing for his agency and its' efforts with SLS and COTS. It doesn't matter if it was a gas generator, etc...the fact is, these incidents should be used by the administrator to push for an even greater sence of urgency with regards to domestic govt / private capabilities.But it would seem they are too busy studying the plan for the planed study of the plan..
In Russia, because of the failures, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin fired Federal Space Agency chief Anatoly Perminov. He is then replaced with First Deputy Defense Minister Vladimir Popovkin.

As an example those workers who were recently put out of a job. Did our administrator have the guts to shake their hands and thank the people for their years of service? I would think not. maybe Congress will call him up when they get back in town.
Both Bolden and his second Garver don’t want to get in front of cameras right now with no answers to a lot of questions from the Hill and the press. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid…
Those who are trying to shout him down are in the wrong here, as a lot of people are wondering about this very question on many sites. Best one I've read so far was:"Maybe they are waiting for another scripted "increasing the awesome" video from Hank?" Sorry folks, but that has more truth in it about how this current "leadership" works than some of you shouting the question down with "What a silly thread! I'm going to post on it and bump it up to the top of the section, that's bound to kill it".
