Yeah right
Bam bam will focus on this like a laser beam
I’m confused, why are we asking permission to use our own $%#^ing space station???? We designed it, hauled it up there and assembled it, so the (&)*& are the Russians to say who gets to use it????
Help, please. Is it true that we cannot operate the space station with the Russian segment? And if so, who thought that was a good plan?
Just asking.
We don't request to use it; we built it and there is no Russian veto on that.
What he's talking about is the request to GET there.
Because currently we can't. Gotta use a Soyuz outta Baikonur.
But supposedly by 2020 we'll have a fleet of capsules and spaceplanes - Dragon, Cygnus, Orion and CST-100.
Which I actually believe is true...unless the Kenyan kills all the programs.
Which he might if he thought there was an illegal somewhere who needs a free lunch.
We were gonna walk away from Soyuz rides anyway.
Ummmm.
OK.
Who needs whom more?
I will swim against the current here and conclude that this is a good thing.
Funding the enemy's intercontinental weapons capabilities (and reliability) always seemed to me as a stupid geopolitical, strategy, to reduce it to simplistic but real terms.

Wow! Who could have ever seen this coming???
Thankfully at least China is our friend and will always be there for us, manufacturing everything we need no matter what. It’s a shame that we don’t have some sort of National Aeronautics and Space Administration of some sort, then we could make our own rockets. Maybe China will make some and send them to us.
