Weren’t we hitching rides to the ISS before Musk came on the scene?

After the Shuttle was retired, the Russians were the only ride to the ISS, as well as the only resupply flights.

I don't know if SpaceX is ready to take over 100% of the crew ferry and ISS resupply missions yet.

So what? We have Elon Musk who is building better launch vehicles than NASA ever dreamed of, and he is stepping up production. There are other civilian companies that are right behind him with new launch platforms. Screw Russia and it's rockets.

I've believed for some time that NASA stopped thinking outside the box. Their last was the Shuttle which has been shut down. Plus, they are pretty much now a woke equity bureaucracy of the fedgov. Pfft.

On paper the space shuttle was futuristic cool but it had a bunch of problems and it cost NASA a ton of capitol and set back more useful and practical lifting systems.

Shutting down the Shuttle was another proud achievement of the Obama/Biden Administration.

Ask NASA what is the proper pronoun for the ISS.

Officially TBD but SpaceX is scheduled to carry people to the ISS on March 30th.

If sanctions continue the only thing remaining in the air in Russia are birds and the chicom coof.

I love his response. I can think of plenty of our politicians and their assorted hangers on who must have high-powered brooms handy. We can start with the hags on the View and work our way up through the ranks to our VP. We can’t put Biden on a broom because he’d fall off.

Russian engines are, I’ve learned, the cheapest way to get to space. Space X is newer and better tech but costs more.

Screw ‘em.

BTW, any guitar players better stock up on tubes for their tube amps. They are dirty and hazardous to make and Russia’s a big supplier (Sovetek tubes). The Chinese made ones suck.

Dmitry Rogozin, director-general of Roscosmos, announced that Russia would be halting the delivery of rocket engines to the US, saying "let them fly into space on their brooms,"

"Paging Mr. Elon Musk, please pick up the white courtesy phone."
