Moscow is banning Washington from using Russian-made rocket engines, which the US has used to deliver its military satellites into orbit, said Russias Deputy PM, Dmitry Rogozin, who is in charge of space and defense industries.
According to Rogozin, Russia is also halting the operation of all American GPS stations on its territory from June 1.

RE:”
It did for about five minutes, 10-12 years ago, when we were looking at withdrawal of the F-14 from service (thanks to Big Dick Cheney and “41”) with no replacement anywhere close to its performance in sight. (Still the situation, we're just forging ahead without a solution.)
....
......
Bugs and Slammers is a virtuous combination, don't get me wrong, but they haven't anything like the range, payload, and combat virtuosity that the F-14’s loaded up with Phoenix missiles did. It looks like our luck is running out now, as China and Russia muscle up to take us on, and even the Iranians want a piece of us. “ Yes but instead we liberated both Iraq and Afghanistan , then rebuilt them and turned them into Democratic versions of Hong Kong.
We are universally respected around the world for those two successes, as much $$$ and manpower as it cost.
Let Russia or China beat that,

RT is Russian Television, or as it is known on the street,
“Station KGB”.
Sometimes accurate but also a lot of KGB/SFB disinformation coming out of it. Has some American employees to provide cover for the real reds.
Worth reading but with a grain of salt.

The Columbia Accident Investigation Board killed the Space Shuttle, Not Obama. The shuttle was allowed to finish ISS, and actually flew a bit longer than CAIB envisioned. Obama did kill the Constellation replacement program.

So the Russians will be out 60 million per person per trip. Their loss our gain.

Obama did kill the Constellation replacement program. Any chance he just wanted us out of the space business, to turn space into a Russo-Chinese playground and weapons platform?
Oh, and I thought I heard (correct me if I'm wrong) that Obama did nix some plans to extend the shuttle for a couple of years, even as an unmanned cargo truck for ISS deliveries.

The Chinese have CCTV, which I call "Chi Com TV" ..... lots of hot news stories featuring some Party hack / government mandarin droning on about the accomplishment of our new Five-Year Plan.
And they do love to tell you about American screwups.
Over the weekend they did a long piece about immigration and the border-security initiatives of the last 10 years.
Their main interviewees were Left NGO scum who badmouthed their country and compared it directly -- with CCTV splicing in footage of Vopos shooting at people -- to the Berlin Wall in 1961.
Some people just need a bad accident. Lying, lowlife NGO scum running down America to camera-toting Chinese Communist technoslime, on American soil no less.
