Monopoly. That is what the Ruskies have now that NASA has no means to get back and forth to the ISS or any other space in space. Should have seen it coming so too bad about that. Suck it up and enjoy because the price is only going to go up.

When you're broke, you should only be spending money on essentials.

Like welfare and massive foreign aid...

The ChiComs don’t go to the ISS. They have their own. You think that would make the news. I remember when they launched their first manned space flight that orbited the Earth in 2003. Guess what led the news? Rush Limbaugh’s drug problem.

Why is the government wasting so much money sending idiots up to the “space station”?

All the idiots are Phds but the question is still valid.

The test flights of the Shuttle had Gemini style ejection seats, while subsequent flights would have had the orbiter detach from the External tank and loop around to land at Cape Canaveral.Neither of these were viable in the two shuttle accidents.

can’t SpaceX do it much cheaper than that these days

Sure! Whatever the market will bear! Looks like free money for Elon Musk.

Bring our personnell home, let Russia have it, it’s a money hole in Space. Speed up the Orion project, let’s get a moon colony going as a platform for exclusive USA asteroid mining.

It appears that hitlerry’s “reset” button with Russia is working quite well. I am so impressed with her leadership and her forward thinking. She MUST be the “smartest woman in the world”.

and our DemocRAT Citizens are dumbass' for allowing them into power.
