We think: Congress needs to maintain U.S. access to the international space station, editorial, Orlando Sentinel
“Lawmakers have little choice but to hold their noses and grant the waiver, so the United States can maintain its access to the space station and protect its huge investment. They need to look for other, better ways to underscore their anger with Russia. Lawmakers also need to find the $2 billion, called for in House-passed legislation, that could speed up the development of NASA’s next vehicle by a couple of years. That would make the period that the U.S. astronauts are forced to depend on Mr. Putin’s taxi service as short as possible.”
