Inside Story Americas - Are US space missions running out of steam?

[JohnFornaro]

They're using steam now?  I'd better watch the video...

You burn hydrogen and oxygen, you get steam.

... which explains all that white stuff shooting out from under the rocket...

Interesting thread comments about AJE.  Stands to reason that AJA reports the "news" with a different perspective.

Backing up a bit to the OP.  I didn't get the sense from the video that they were saying that the US effort is stagnating.

I don't think the title of the video was "saying" anything.  Its just a questioning of NASA and the state of the Spaceflight program in the U.S.

To clarify a bit:  Backing up to the OP, and the title of the OP.
