The stop sending them. What is really be accomplished up there anyway?

[PhiloBedo]

That’s OK, NASA can just boost them up on the Space Shuttle.....oh......wait....NASA does what, now?

[Olog-hai]

Well, the Russians are not about to let that happen, especially at the upcoming Winter Olympics . . .

[Olog-hai]

Muslim outreach.

[mykroar]

Probably on the Space Shuttle Snowden.

$71 Million? For that kind of money they could go to Martha’s Vinyard.

See what you did there?

Wanna get the space program funded and rolling again? Turn the ISS into a fag bar. Then watch the priorities change.

Sure they can, once NASA man rates Falcon/Dragon.

I foresee a bumpy ride. NASA has never man-rated a COTS vehicle before. I'm not even sure that they have a process for doing so.

Once upon a time we walked on the moon.

[Leaning Right]

Why is the government wasting so much money sending idiots up to the “space station”?

I've got to agree with you there. I'm sure there are benefits to the work done at the space station, but whatever it is, it is not essential to the nation.

When you're broke, you should only be spending money on essentials.

Yah, but not at the Moochelle norme d'excellence.

How is the diplomacy working out for you Obamahole?

[bmwcyle]

OK, its time to use the anti-gravity machines we built.

The Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules.

But he has to depend on those who have the lead to keep the gold.

[jimjohn]

Now that thar’s funny ah don’t care who ya are.

[M Kehoe]

But he has to depend on those who have the lead to keep the gold.

True.

...unexpectedly...

[jmcenanly]

They’re working on it. The only obstacle now for the Dragon to carry a crew into orbit is the lack of a launch escape system.http://news.cnet.com/2300-11386_3-10012467-2.html

In the age of Obamaillions, millions are chicken feed. Russia is just being realistic about inflation, and the best thing we can do is stop using NASA for wasteful space nonsense, and apply that money to warm and fuzzy Muslim feelings.
