Do you ever read the news?

We no longer have a way to get to the Space Station, or to come back from it.

When we did away with the shuttles we basically gave the station to Russia,since we cannot get there without them.

Is that enough info for you?

Hah! I was in a meeting where someone mentioned the word “British”. One of the two Russians in our group blurted that expletive completely out of context. There was no need to translate. My boss immediately smiled and said, “Tell us what you really think about them, Vitaly.” It was a very revealing moment.

LOL. I'm glad I wasn't drinking coffee when I read this, otherwise I would need a new monitor.

do you have info to back up that statement???

Open your eyes! The shuttle is retired. The only way up to the ISS is via a Russian Soyuz. The ISS may still be "International", but the ride to and from is now Russian. Yes, the Russians know English, and there is no reason why our Astronauts should not know Russian.

Bullcrap news. All the astronauts speaks Russian and all the cosmonauts speaks English for the last 20 years.
