I will totally agree that government aid has been as helpful to farmers as it has to Amtrak, the airlines and public education.

As a retired teacher, I can safely state that the NEA/AFT owns the DemonRat party.

Russia won’t have the money to pay for the launch, and no place to go (ISS will be off-limits to them). USA has SLS literally undergoing testing as we speak, plus SpaceX.

What about the astronauts family? The tourist mission is only ten days long he could come back with them at the end of that mission. As of today NASA has still approved of the launch why would Ukraine stop a launch from Florida when the rocket is going north north east towards Scotland and then over the Arctic circle. Russia wouldn’t dare shoot down a manned capsule that would immediately spark World war three. Crew Dragon is the ONLY space launch vehicle with 100% abort at every point on accent to orbit capability no other launch system has that level of safety. Scotland is the last abort site just off shore the others are in the North Atlantic and along the Eastern seaboard. By the time Scotland is reached the crew Dragon is going fast enough to abort to orbit using its on board Super Drago engines do a once around and reenter for a slowdown off the Pacific Coast of California. I would rather fly on crew Dragon anyway over Soyuz where the last abort nearly killed the 3 passengers with a 9+ G ballistic reentry and hard ground touchdown. Crew Dragon has on board abort and steering engines it will never do a ballistic entry it always flys a guided entry profile well under 5Gs
