The only rockets that NASA or the USAF have are designed to carry small sattelites into Low Earth Orbit. Until the new ships come into service they won't be able to get enough cargo to the ISS to make it worth it.

Well from what I read in another thread, they just bought a bunch of Soyuz rockets. I don't remember what thread, or where the article was from, but they had a link to an article that showed Congress approved the purchase of them.

Really... I would appreciate a link...Since I thought that was illegal.
NASA budget charts obtained by Space News indicate that 2 percent of NASAs aggregate budget through 2020 would be spent on Soyuz and cargo services for the space station. That information is omitted in an otherwise identical budget package released to reporters.
