This Putin gravy train has been a national embarrassment.
So, it's 2020 and the United States is yet still dependent on Russian Soyuz rockets for the docking and transfer of American astronauts to and from the ISS. A whole lot of lovely cost overruns and delay (after delay after delay) by SpaceX and Boeing, the latter of whom recently pocketed an extra $200 million that they shouldn't of been paid -- for CCDev, they've obviously straight up hoarded countless billions on cost-plus contracts over the decades.
It's absolutely incredulous to listen to someone like Mike Pence... talk about going back to the moon. The country hasn't even had the operational capability to put humans into low earth orbit (alive) for the last decade. And on what, the SLS? Another pork barrel jobs program to nowhere with Boeing as the primary contractor. They've been living on legacy aircraft, rockets and rotorcraft for a while now, should probably cede doing any space / defense work for the government until the commercial airliners can stay in the air.
