Losing an independent method of manned spaceflight for this long isn't acceptable, especially when we have to put Astronauts in shitty Russian rockets

Same reason people take taxis instead of buying a car, it's cheaper in the short run.

Truth of the matter is that the U.S. and Russia have both been helping one another with their space programs for quite some time, even before the end of the Cold War

The Kenyon didn’t think NASA was important
Surprised he didn’t fund a China space program for that.
Just think of the kick backs

The Russians are fricking pissed at SpaceX because they're going to take market share.

Russia Space Chief says Elon Musk full of shite for his low prices for launches

SpaceX great for ISS and US space flight, really bad for Russia which has made space launches a business

NASA was going to shite before Obama. Most of the falsified data on Global Warming during Bush came from NASA. They kept getting caught. They kept saying 'Yeah, but this time we didn't lie.'

That all changes on 5/27 as SpaceX will be launching Astronauts to the IIS from American soil for the 1st time in 8 years.

Isn't Elon Musk launching a rocket with US astronauts in the next few days?

Trump fixing another one of Obama's frick ups. Didn't King frick Nuts cancel the space program to focus on climate change?

why do y'all have a fetish for conspiracy theories. There's no scientific conspiracy to make up Global Warming, it's just a spending issue decided upon by an arrogant government.

Sure we can trust competitive countries to do the right thing with regards to us not monitoring satellite communications and space defense projects. Nothing to see. Please move along. Obama is a fricking genius.

because obama deemed it so and then changed nasa directive to be one of 90% race relations and community outreach with only 10% still for the science and space exploration. read the link below.

FYI - it's about a wash. They send up our astronauts and we own the solar panels on the ISS and sell them electricity to run their portion of the space station.
