MOSCOW. July 15 (Interfax) - Roscosmos and NASA have signed an agreement on joint cross-flights of Russian cosmonauts and American astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS).
"On Thursday July 14, 2022, the Roscosmos state corporation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) signed an agreement regarding the flights of integrated crews on Russian and American crewed transport ships," the Russian state corporation said on Telegram on Friday.
Cosmonaut Anna Kikina will, as was planned if the agreement were signed, join the crew of the American Crew Dragon spaceship as part of the Crew-5 mission, Roscosmos said. Her place in the Russian Soyuz MS-22 crew will be taken by NASA astronaut Francisco Rubio.
"The agreement is aimed at ensuring the presence aboard the ISS of at least one Roscosmos cosmonaut and one NASA astronaut to service the Russian and American segments, respectively, in the event of an unscheduled situation relating to a cancelled or substantially delayed launch of a Russian or American spaceship," Roscosmos said.
I’m glad this is continuing.
A moment of sanity in an insane world...
With a Trump in the WH he, being the trader he is, will find many areas of common interest to keep the Russia bear in check. Trump’s “win-win” strategy whereby both parties win is a winner!!!
Thanks to private industry, we are in a position where we don’t have to beg. Were it left to NASA, we would be screwed. Now we need a new space station, and maybe a moon station as well. China will likely beat us to both.
“Now we need a new space station, and maybe a moon station as well.”
I agree.
“China will likely beat us to both.”
I sure hope not.
I don’t want the Russians to win. I want them to lose.
COLLUSION!
Russia is not (and should not be) our enemy. Russia is the enemy of the globalist world order. We should be with them, not against them.
How long before the Russians threaten to nuke the ISS?
If your goal is simply to oppose globalism, what happens outside the United States is completely irrelevant. All that matters are the laws we choose to pass in our own country.
Putin says Russia is building the new world order right now

I am also.
Small examples of good will can help to remind us we should
be getting along and not bickering.
Of course this is a war-time setting. It’s more than just
bickering.
Disappointing. We should be opposing those people at every opportunity, not cooperating.
Private company’s are working on a new station
It's literally just opposition to democratic forms of government. The idea that there are people here who so enthusiastic support an unabashed dictator is just stunning.
