I think, this is a great opportunity for Elon Musk to make his place permanent in the space supplies sector and for privatization of space sector. I would be really looking forward to how things will turn out for him. I'm not a fan of him, but just say.. I'm interested in his work.<p>Though, reliability and espionage-possibility would remain a concern.
Sanctions with a country as large as Russia are defiantly a two way street.<p>Sometimes people appear to forget this during talk about handing them out.
Well good luck to Russia, totalitarian fascism would work out great I am sure. There would be millions of Russians spinning in their graves if they knew of what the "motherland" has become.
It's a shame that science, which often bridges political divides, has to suffer due to political bullshit. Somewhat understandable given the history of space exploration, but bullshit nonetheless.<p>It also makes Russia look like a petulant child, taking its ball and going home because it didn't get to eat another child's chocolate.
