2022-05-01
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • General Director of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin confirmed the news earlier today

  • He did not specify a date for Russia's pullout, but a year's notice must be given

#8  All the ISS project has been for the last thirty years has been Midnight Basketball for Russians. It didn't work, and I don't think we need it any more.

#5  Not to worry China will push forward. From landing on the moon to stuck on stupid. Perhaps Musk will save the day for NASA. Not likely as he is not wokeafied enough to satisfy this administration.His efforts with EV technology not even recognized. With this administrations efforts so far I see them shooting themselves in the foot on this.

#4  ISS is a waste at a time when waste seems to be all the gummint can do. It's sure doing a great job of fostering cooperation between the USA and Russia. Retire it early. Use the money NASA spends on it for anything worthwhile.
