Second, we're in a train wreck with ISS already because Clinton started a policy that we're supposed to buy Soyuz for the station, but there's also legislation that we can't buy from the Russians because of their deals with Iran.

#1  The actual first test flights of the vehicle, perhaps about 2010 Bwahahaha! I also understand they have a bridge in New York for sale.
