MOSCOW, March 3 (Reuters) - Russia has decided to stop supplying rocket engines to the United States in retaliation for its sanctions against Russia over Ukraine, Dmitry Rogozin, head of the state space agency Roscosmos, said on Thursday.

"In a situation like this we can't supply the United States with our world's best rocket engines. Let them fly on something else, their broomsticks, I don't know what," Rogozin said on state Russian television.

According to Rogozin, Russia has delivered a total of 122 RD-180 engines to the U.S. since 1990s, of which 98 have been used to power Atlas launch vehicles.

“Let them fly on something else, their broomsticks, I don’t know what.”

Must have been thinking about Pelosi.

Outsourcing has consequences, and we are 1000x more dependent on China for stuff than Russia.

It's time to have a 20 year moratorium on awarding MBA's ...

“Let them fly on something else, their broomsticks”

It sounds like the Russians are not very impressed with American “science”.

Short term next few years it appears we have enough.
I don’t know if Musk’s rockets that he makes in USA can be substituted

[throwthebumsout]

Elon must have seen this coming.

[dragonblustar]

We are getting rocket engines from Russia?????

[adorno]

Anything that Russia exports, brings them funding for a lot of things, including those rocket engines.

So, they’re doing unto themselves what the rest of the world is doing to them.

Wonder if they’ll stop the oil exports, which is what is helping them fund the war against Ukraine. If not, then they’re not serious about hurting the U.S.

Thank you Bill Clinton.

If they don't now, they will.

[cgbg]

If the international situation deteriorates further, everyone’s satellites will be sitting ducks.

I wonder if Musk has insurance coverage for “acts of war”.

[odawg]

Aren’t our politicians a smart bunch? Outsourcing rocket engines? Is there a limit to the stupidity these fools will not try to break through?

We can use Hillary’s broomstick.
