Russia Bans U.S. From International Space Station: How Should America Respond?

[2013]

Oh, no. Russia is mad at us again.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin has vowed to punish the U.S. for imposing sanctions over his nation's invasion of Crimea. After being included on the list of targets for sanctions, Rogozin released rapid-fire statements last month in which he:

• objected to the Pentagon using Russian equipment to launch U.S. military satellites
• promised to block the sale of Russian RD-180 rocket engines to U.S. space launch company United Launch Alliance (ULA)
• threatened to terminate "cooperation" with the United States on the International Space Station -- presumably by denying U.S. astronauts rides to the ISS aboard Russian rockets
• mocked America's too-early termination of its space shuttle program, quipping: "I propose that the United States delivers its astronauts to the ISS with the help of a trampoline."

So I guess you could say that relations between the United States and Russia are not particularly strong right now. And with the U.S. lacking a single operating spacecraft certified for manned spaceflight, this poses something of a problem.

The International Space Station. Soon to be off-limits to the United States?

Baada ya sherehe za kuadhimisha D-Day mahusiano kati ya Russia na the West yamenyooka

Hadi ukiingia website ya RT(Russia Today) uta notice kuwa habari mbovu mbovu kuhus Ukraine na Maidan Protest zimetolewa

Hadi ile Ukraine time line of events imetolewa.Its a sign kuwa wanaanza kukumbaliana katika maeneo

From the looks of it West imei promise Russia vitu vikubwa ikiwa itaacha vurugu zake Eastern Ukraine na Putin karidhika

Or maybe its a chess move kuidanganya Marekani.Putin alipitia mafunzo ya Sevsebia(chess think) alivyokuwa KGB officer X2.Ni master of tactics and strategy

Hilo swala la Russia kutoiruhusu marekani kwenda ISS halitowezekana in a million years.Hawa ni watani wa jadi wanajuana
