But it looks like Russia is planning the following:

  • "Moscow is banning Washington from using Russian-made rocket engines, which the US has used to deliver its military satellites into orbit."
  • Moscow also isn’t planning to agree to the US offer of prolonging operation of the International Space Station (ISS).


Surprised that they don't also throw out any US astronauts currently in Russia, no doubt there must be some there training or something. I know none of this is their fault, but it would certainly get the message across.
Those sanctions are a brilliant move. With NASA falling apart, it will give Russia an impressive edge on the space industry.

In other news, is everyone aware that the US Vice President's son has been appointed to the board of directors of one of Ukraine's largest gas conglomerates, Burisma Holdings. While Ukrainians are dying, Hunter Biden has a huge smile on his face ($$$$$$$).
