One American on board.
T minus eight minutes
How humiliating... and that’s just what Obama wants to see happen to America - see it humiliated.
That one cosmonaut looks like Brezhnev.
2 minutes...
God speed to all on board! Nice liftoff too.
It is embarrassing, as an American, that we need to pay someone else to deliver our astronauts. Hopefully we will get back on track as a nation of space-faring people.
Did he say “six hour trip to the space station”? Six hours is pretty quick.
Two insults in one minute: I had to watch a commercial for Common Core before the NASA TV feed started, and then I had to watch a Russian take an American into space, because we no longer can take ourselves. It would be like the Pilgrims having to pay the Spanish Armada to take them to Plymouth Rock.
Provident timing for the Russians. Obama/Kerry are saying Russia is a second rate power which took Crimea because of weakness and now we are treated to a picture of the Russians taking one of our astronauts to the ISS and we have to pay them $71 million for the ride.
And it’s only costing us 70 million per trip!
