This is not a NASA Website. You might learn something. It's YOUR space agency. Get involved. Take it back. Make it work—for YOU.

NASA Watch: Your support is needed, support independent journalism.
Thank you for whatever support you can provide. We recently launched this upgraded website which will allow us to expand our coverage. But the design and hosting come at cost, as does adding new services. We're also going looking to add new journalists as we expand.
We'll send a verification code to %EMAIL%.
Right on. I have walked all over Kiev, Kharkiv, Poltava, Lviv, Odessa, Nikolaev, and Kherson. Putin is a war criminal. If any regime change needs to happen, NATO can take care of this. Please. My friends in Ukraine report the devastation, death, and suffering is unimaginable. I believe them. If we don’t stop this act of terror against free people, the rest of Europe is next. And, yes, for those of you wondering, I am preparing to go there as a volunteer to fight this bastard. Sort of a “money where my mouth is” action. I’m more than happy to do it.
The Russian Army has shot its load in Ukraine. It will require years, if not decades, to recover from their self-inflicted disaster.
Regime change in Moscow cannot happen at the barrel of a gun. It must come from within. For the West to attempt to force Putin out would be a disaster, for everyone.
I’m not belittling this contemptable gesture, but change the open palm to a closed fist and you change the message.
But this isn’t a real pic, correct?
No. It is political commentary. It says so on the image.
Russia will fragment after this. The economy destroyed, the army a shell that won’t even be able to hold its own ground. They will never be trusted, invested in, traded with or enjoy any of the tools the west provides (economic, banking, technology, medical, etc). Ukraine will rebuild, be stronger than ever and once again have atomic weapons. A Russian attack on Ukraine will never happen again. No nation will ever give up it atomic weapons after this (like Ukraine did years ago). But Russia will be poor, depressed, exploited and dying for the next 50 years. They will have no space program.
You must have really strong thighs to be able to jump to so many conclusions all at the same time. Do you have any formal expertise in politics (Russian or otherwise), international relations, economics, etc.?
I’m a SME on CCCP systems. Supported analysis of soviet capabilities and just what they have that works . Worked with x-cccp for several years. Developed a deep understanding of Russians working with them on ISS and even before that doing analysis of soviet air and spacecraft over 9 years. Working with a lot of Russians before the union fell. The kind that defected. Studied the people history and culture. Wrote option papers on soviet/russian culture/ capabilities. Especially areas of weekness that could be exploited.
Part of a team that built SAPE (Survivable Adaptive Planning Experiment) or the US Government way of fighting a protracted atonic war. Basically yeah.
Yeah, I will shed a tear over this outcome. Not.
