Russia is to deny the US future use of the International Space Station beyond 2020 and will also bar its rocket engines from launching US military satellites as it hits back at American sanctions imposed over Ukraine crisis.

It's a good thing Obama shut down most of NASA.

Repugs are the insane budget cutters, starving the beast.

The Russian engines we use are easily built and we have a 2 year supply.

We have at least 3 US companies that can accomplish this cheaply.

Its sad NASA had its budget cut but this won't be a problem except that private companies might be asked to perform the task. Sorry boots.
