@bazzacollins Not until 2020 - it'll have blown over long before then. NASA's money will be more important to Russia than anything else.
I said this Crimea stand-off would have implications for the Space Station. Very sad: http://www.theverge.com/2014/5/13/5714462/russia-will-cut-off-us-access-to-the-international-space-station-over …

@kevpartner That's soon enough to derail current plans. They work *a long* way in advance. -
@bazzacollins A pity NASA's long term planning didn't magic up a replacement to the shuttle before it went out of service! -
@kevpartner Indeed. Maybe this will prompt an urgent rethink.

@bazzacollins Although a New Cold War realpolitik space race would be fun.#glasshalffull -
@paultrueman74 Indeed. Could prompt US to revitalise NASA.

@bazzacollins $60m per astronaut? I never knew it was that much. The saddest part was not looking at replacements for the system initially -
@soliamsays Amazing, isn't it?

@bazzacollins Talking about space. Do You use My Apollo. I joined it. It sounded a good idea but I found You on it but no-one else I know??? -
@SouthendSites Tested it for a news story. Have no intent to use it. -
@bazzacollins Thanks WG ... Now I know. I will wait and See.

@bazzacollins Petty and stupid, but also highlighting how dumb it was for the US to not replace its own system. -
@CraigGrannell Indeed. This might well prompt a rethink. -
@bazzacollins I imagine the Chinese are thinking “Well, $60m return isn’t a bad ticket price to ferry Americans about…”
