A Russian official angered over new sanctions that the United States imposed on Russia over the Ukraine crisis is suggesting that American astronauts get to the International Space Station by using trampolines instead of rockets. "The United States introduced sanctions against our space industry... We warned them, we will reply to statements with statements, to actions with actions," Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who heads Russia's defense industry, said on Twitter, according to Reuters. American astronauts depend on Russian rockets to get to the ISS, but after the U.S. imposed sanctions – which deny export licenses for high-tech items that could aid Russia’s military -- Rogozin offered up a different idea. "I propose that the United States delivers its astronauts to the ISS with the help of a trampoline," he said.

Who couldn’t see that coming?

I’m afraid the 0bama administration is just a symptom, an opportunistic infection. I hope you get your wish, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Sad but true. That, and Muslim outreach.
NASA is not the great entity that it was to me in my younger years.
Sometimes when I feel like reminiscing, I remember how great it was that we actually put men on the moon with the advanced technology of the slide rule. And then brought them home again. Magnificent!
We all watched the rocket launches; great admiration for the astronauts and the people making it all happen.
It really is tough to watch the Right Stuff now knowing how NASA has been turned into a pseudo science climate change and Muslim outreach waste of money.
But I hate to sound like an old person and live in the past. There are many amazing innovations happening right now all around us.
