Russia can’t ban us from the Station, but they don’t have to give our astronauts a ride. Thank you Obama, for this outrage.

That's if SpaceX doesn't get there first. SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket could become the USA's primary means to launch heavy payloads into orbit.

Sounds a whole lot like one of those “blessings in disguise”, regardless of what the halfrican intended. America has always worked best when butt is in a crack.

Zer0 find a way to blame this stupid decision on Bush yet?

This one has to rank right up there with the worst decision ever made by a sitting president.

But he’s not done yet

Russia can hashtag the US, that will work.

The USA has become a fricking joke because of bath house Barry. And we all deserve it.

They can have it, along with all the support costs. It’s the biggest, most expensive boondoggle in the history of science.

May be a boondoggle, but is sure is fun to watch coming overhead. To get the time table in your location, google “Spot the Station”.

Well, we'll just have NASA give them a ride...Oh wait...never mind.

Their primary mission is boosting the self esteem of mohammadens and they don't have anything to ride in anyway.

Maybe we could call the secretary of the Air Force.

Oh wait. He said his top priority was making homos comfortable in the AF so that's out.

Good

We can concentrate on our own space programs and stop subsidizing the Russian Space and Ballistic Missile programs

If anything General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin both licensed to build RD-180.
The only problem a Russian one cost about ten million a piece and American is around forty million.
