Not sure what sort of sabotage they could or would commit.
According to them, one of our women up their went nuts and caused damage to the docking stations. As I said in another thread, NASA would be wise to have a SpaceX crew capsule & pilot on standby ready to get up there as quickly as possible. Get our people out of there along with any sensitive materials/experiments.

They shoot down the ISS over us, we shoot down the moon over them.

God speed, Vladimir. The few decent Christians of North America are depending on you.

Tough crowd, how many of you "boys" own Teslas? If Putin shuts the grid down via cyberattack, will that begin your emissions of idiocy?



You ever try to pump gas when there's no power at the gas station?

You ever try to recharge a battery with a solar panel?

One of the Russians probably ghosted her after tearing off a hunk.

NASA Ground Control: ISS this is Ground Control
ISS NASA Commander: Copy Houston, What can we do for you today?
NASA Ground Control: Eliminate all Russian crew members onboard.
ISS NASA Commander: Airlock or detach Russian Module?
NASA Ground Control: Your discretion ISS
ISS NASA Commander: Copy that. Have a nice day Houston.

Theres like 0% chance they have that capability anyway whereas we absolutely can shoot down whatever the frick we want with a snap of a finger


LOL, we do not have the capability of hitting an object entering the atmosphere at 18,000 miles per hour.

We probably could hit an object that big, but by the time we scrambled anything it would have started breaking up into a million smaller pieces.

It would also depend on what trajectory the sent it done on. To steep and it essentially vaporizes, to shallow and it also vaporizes. Way to shallow and it skips off into eternity. Just right and it breaks up like the space shuttle did over the south west. Either way, it’s coming down in pieces not whole.

It would take a calculated and controlled burn, or major luck to get it right otherwise.

The surface of the planet’s about 70% water. I like the chances that the ISS will hit an ocean without guidance.

Guess manual pumps aren't a thing or siphoning either. Not like the corporations wouldn't open up the tank and start pumping it out.

Just like the early years with kids, that's time from your life that you never get back.

That makes me wonder. I wonder how quickly SpaceX could scrape together a rescue mission with no notice?

Will the Russians take requests for possible targets? There are a couple of sites and like them to aim for.
