- Maybe what we should do is rent Mir and the Russian space facilties and use
- them to help build SS Fred (Interesting name).. I doubt the US people would be
- exciting if we bought Mir and Energina and such.. (Jobs and such, even if it
- would probably save us money)..
-
- The Russians alreay have Mir up in space, why not used it to build a
- American/US space station, or build a wing onto Mirt that is for US use..
- I know Mir is far from ideal, but what is.. Why reinvent the wheel when the
- wheel is already in Orbit??
-
- Does anyone know of any Russian Jobs?? Namely space jobs, or Russians who are
- looking for jobs int he Use Space industry?..
-
- I do like the idea of a reward for the first commerical space station in orbit
- versus NASA/DOD building one.. One thing NASA can do it rent space on the new
- station.. Why must the FED own everything, can't it be happy to rent things..
