Neither Russian nor NASA officials specified who would finance the launch of extra Soyuz spacecraft.

LOL! I guess it's obvious to all involved.

So, if we have a problem with Discovery, and they need to be rescued, the Russians will be there for us - in seven months?

Thanks guys, but that sounds more like a body recovery operation than a rescue.

This ain't no joke, folks. We're damn lucky that the Russkies are there to pull our butts out of the fire, if it comes to that.

Hah, considering the multi millions of dollars slick willie funnelled to the Russian space program when Yeltsin was in charge, I should think so!!!!

If there was something wrong with the Discovery this might mean something. Since the Shuttle is undamaged, their statement is a polite gesture.

Is there a problem with Discovery or what? What's going on? Nice of the families down here to have to sit and listen to all this talking. Was the shuttle damaged on takeoff or not? Are our astronauts in trouble or what? Wish someone would just say what is going on.

NASA should be completely cut from the budget. 2 1/2 years a a billion or two later they still don't have the problem fixed.

Oh and the solution is to use the old foam, the non ecofriendly foam.

Take 1/10'th of NASA budget give it to Rutan and tell him to build a vehicle that will orbit and return.

The "big government" fans will no doubt rise now to defend NASA as they always do........
