As Russia will have its own Space Station in 2020...
Russia to deploy its own Space Station in 2017
Houston, we have a problem..
As the Americans are using Russian rockets to send men, women and supplies to the ISS, as those same rockets are used to send satellites, maybe it's just me but it now seems that the American Administration is going to have a deadline to deal with, and hopefully, change things around when it comes to Space economics.
Anyone here that knows me a little, understand by now, that I disagree with the cuts NASA and other Space exploration ventures have endured, while money is dissipated in warfare.
Our future, as humans, is in space, not in territorial wars.
Plus, it's just another sign that the Great Divide is getting deeper. It looks as if we are going back in time and not forward. As we are sanctioning Russia, forgetting that it's a two way coin, we also seem to forget that division has a price.
How I wish at times, and especially when it comes to space ventures, that our Leaders would acknowledge that we are ONE species.
Wishful thinking. I'm curious...What are your thoughts on this?
The latest development follows an announcement by the country’s deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin earlier this year that Russia would not use the ISS after 2020, Sputnik reported, citing the Kommersant report, which cited a source close to the Central Research Institute of Machine Building, which is administrated by the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos).
