oh shit, Russia is going to deny access to the ISS

[Goshin]

We rely on them to send astronauts up cuz our politicians lack foresight and have no balls.

I'll post the article when I get to my computer but this is bad, though it may spur money going into NASA to speed things up

I don't see how this affects NASA's top priority of Muslim outreach.

Russia is to deny the US future use of the International Space Station beyond 2020

Given the US ability to ignore finance and just manufacture with out source of income - just offset. There should not be a problem creating craft. ....wait nm.. we don't have a space program. That could be a fuckin problem.

Russia gonna turn off gps ground stations, and fuck the iss. People want to extend it thru 2028 since it cost 100 billion to make. Now that could be dead. And deep space science research dies with it. So then we never leave earth and die at the next extinction event

Gps being less accurate means Google car breaks

 

[SniperWhôre]

If NASA and the Federal government would just take the reigns off SpaceX and give them an immediate assload of cash, this would not be any issue at all. They are goddamned close to having a man-capable vehicle ready for the ISS already. They can certainly beat the 2017 target date if they are allowed to.

 

[Goshin]

That's the point, hopefully these makes Shitty Washington give NASA more money. 1% of gdp means we can do everything we want right now

Let me google that for you

so Space-X plans to reach the ISS with peeps by 2017 and Russia won't give us a ride after 2020


OH SHIT

 

[Goshin]

Blame auto correct
Russia will decommission their side after 2020, meaning the station is useless

 

[lemon]

oh so they're going to decommission their side in 2020

wasn't the plan all along to decommission the whole thing in 2020?

where are your getting your news dude

Fucks NASA. Manned space flight is long over due for privatization.

 

[Bughead]

Imagine the chaos if they cut off access to GLONASS somehow.

 

[lemon]

for real

my bike computer uses both and it's a lot more accurate than gps alone

Sort of, politicians trying to push it 2028. We don't have the money to build a new science station unless they privatize.government is dumb though and wont help get it off the ground unless it's at a snail piece
