Since we're pissing all over Russia's post toasties, how we gonna get back and forth to the ISS? There's not exactly any other choices are there? I think some other countries might be working on it, but most of their programs involve a DeLorean and a banana peel.

Reckon we should thought of that when we parked the shuttles!

Ummmm, I'm sure Putin ain't gonna turn down the $56,000,000 USD we pay per round-trip ticket to the ISS. That's EACH American astronaut EACH trip.

It was reported on the news yesterday that the Kremlin told us we could use a trampoline (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2014/04/30/russias-deputy-pm-tells-u-s-astronauts-to-go-to-space-on-a-trampoline-the-joke-may-be-on-him/).. So there's that.

How 'bout a big ol' slingshot? No way to get to the ISS. Thank you Mr. Obama. Who needs that tired old space program anyway?

Dang, just read your link. It's up to $76,000,000 per ticket now! I guess I was a year or two behind the times.

You know, cuz of inflation. Also, we still owe the Russians about $450M in back-payments.. I wonder what the late fees are like..?
