Do they really have the technical expertise to build it?

“Beware of anyone named Leo Green”

I saw something last night about Leo Green and I can’t recall what it was.

“The Russians haven’t been commie bastards in decades...”

Some people here agree with Hillary and Obama that Russia is our enemy, and like Hillary and Obama, they don’t seem to have any idea why they’re supposed to be our enemy.

Actually, no. USA came up with the plan, built and launched the first several modules. The European Space Agency, Canadians, and Japanese have built modules for the ISS, as well as the Russians. The U.S. shuttle was used as the primary launch and supply vehicle for the major components.

Why do you think all the modules that comprise it are space shuttle cargo bay sized?

The Russians are just grouchy that we don't have to buy tickets for them to fly us there anymore.

“Well there’s probably some truth to that.”

Yep, it’s developing cracks and leaks in its pressure shell. It’s days (or at least years) are clearly numbered now.
