Go, jump on a trampoline: Russian deputy PM tells American astronauts following U.S. sanctions
Tech Times ^ | 5/1/14 | James Maynard

Dmitry Rogozin, the Russian deputy prime minister, told the United States they could "jump on a trampoline" to get to space.

Since the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011, the United States has lacked any domestic means of sending humans to orbit. NASA has sent astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard Russian spacecraft since that time.

NASA may not be able to launch an astronaut into space, but at least they make Muslims feel good about themselves.

Bizarro world.

Agree to a point. There were many voting irregularities in key states like Fla and Ohio

I agree to a point, but was it enough to change the outcome, or are Americans getting what they voted for?

I’m just waiting to hear from the administration and their propagandists in the mainstream media about what a triumph this is for the American space program. Trampolines are the finest possible form of space travel, and our trampoline program is “working”.

The debate over the efficacy of using trampolines to get our astronauts into orbit is over.

The NEA has been educating the majority of Americans for many decades. Brainwashed heads full of mush, without a clue, voted for zer0.

More truth to your graphic than most realize.

To me, Obozo has been a groomed Communist Russian agent from way back via the Saudis.

Red grandparents, the influence of Frank Marshall Davis in more ways than one apparently, sponsorship of Bill Ayres, the cover provided by the radical Jeremiah Wright, and his supersonic ascent from Chicago community organizer to President of the United States in about 15 years all point to that.

The flexibility comment all but confirmed that also.

The two spys in that show were more enamored with capitalism than either of the two commies you picture.

Btw I love that show. Ollie North helped write some of the last few episodes.

Good, America shouldn’t have to hitch a ride with a second rate power. It is treasonous that we loss that ability and don’t have our own space capability.

NASA officials are saying they do not expect Moscow to cut off launch services for America, since Washington pays Moscow $60 million per astronaut send to the ISS.

I guess we will find out who is bluffing and who is not.

There are 2 Americans currently aboard the ISS.

This was all planned from the moment when Obama nixed our next generation space transport system. Everything is falling nicely into place for these xxxxxxxx.
