Why do we keep paying Russians?
Subject: DESTRUCTION of AMERICA 'S SPACE CAPABILITIES ---WHY did NASA say no to X37 ? NEED Select Congressional Committee to Investigate!!!WHY ??? Did NASA say no to making x37 a crewed vehicle?????And those in Congress specializing in space are well aware that, had getting independent access to ISS for our nation really been Job #1 for NASA's leadership, then the Administration would have approved Boeing's proposal for the X-37B follow-on, the 5 crew X-37C. We are talking about a dependable spacecraft that can sit in orbit for over a year and NASA said no to making it a crewed vehicle. Why? Jim Hillhouse of American Space

Gross Misuse of Nation's Resources Shuttle & x37b
Termination of shuttle is a gross misuse of the Nation's resources. We must get the attention of Congress to get either the shuttle or an equivalent vehicle flying as soon as possible. To accomplish this we must educate the average person to the unique capabilities of this system. To this end we must get the benefits of this concept in the minds of the average American so they will demand the restart of this system/equivalent. Amazingly, we have a near equivalent, the x37b but the idiots we have in DC did not even consider the Boeing proposal--the x37b is operational----google x37 & read the details!!!!!! Boeing proposal ( x37c)---link below. The x37b is an amazing vehicle also!The media has not done a story on what could be accomplished with the x37 system operated by DOD. The fact we are paying the russians 72 m per ride on soyuz is totally NUTS. To get this changed we need bloggers to get out the word so we can get a large number of people to contact the media constantly and demand that we use the vehicles we have & stop wasting money !!To get this done we need programing in every state on radio/tv bring out the benefits of the program. This will require each of you to constantly contact your local stations encouraging /demanding programs supporting this approach. It is up to you, we are Americans and can make this happen.Keeptheshuttleflyingc.blogspot.com

Well, after talking to Capitol Hill staffers, they too are suffering the same head issues I am. At least I'm in good company.Rather than talk about what Congress will or will not pay for, let's review what Congress has done since 2010 on space funding.
Congress has, on its own and despite both opposition from the Administration and aggressive delaying tactics on the SLS and Orion programs from NASA, appropriated those amounts needed to keep both Orion and SLS on track. And just as it's done since 2010, Congress is going to do what it wants on HSF, which is fund Orion and SLS fully.
What Congress sees is not a justification for Commercial Crew. Far from it. Congressional staffers are well aware of the true progress of that program and no, none of those players are getting us to ISS anytime soon. That's largely NASA's fault since Congress has informed it that the CCP program needed to down-selected years ago to better focus limited resources for faster progress. But NASA's leadership didn't do that for political reasons. Loose Boeing and CCP looses luster and respectability. Loose Sierra Nevada and we working on three capsule programs. And if you want to make engineers working in GN&C or ELSS laugh, tell them that one of the CCP companies will be flying crews by 2016. Guffaws galore.
And those in Congress specializing in space are well aware that, had getting independent access to ISS for our nation really been Job #1 for NASA's leadership, then the Administration would have approved Boeing's proposal for the X-37B follow-on, the 5 crew X-37C. We are talking about a dependable spacecraft that can sit in orbit for over a year and NASA said no to making it a crewed vehicle. Why?

What Congress does see is that if we had not gone through the nonsense of 2010, we would be much closer to our own capability to launch crews to ISS than we are today. Instead, Neil Armstrong was right–the Administration changed our nation's HSF course in secret, without consultation, and mucked things up.
When it comes to the Moon, Congress is funding $3.5B annually on the DDTE for Orion and SLS. Anything else will have to wait for a new Administration as there is zero trust right now in Congress of anything the White House or NASA HQ are selling about human spaceflight.

The x37-b is a fine spacecraft. However it is MUCH smaller than space Shuttle. It was deliberately designed to not have the extra weight, life support, and astronaut flying capabilites. So to add humans would take 5-7 years and significantly modify the design and add a lot of weight meaning much less cargo. Having said that, It could with enough NASA money be modified to carry about 3, maybe four humans into Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Right now NASA is spending $500 Million per year to entice 3 companies to provide commercial crew service to ISS. So contrast that with the NASA budget of $2.8 Billion in 2014 to build the new rocket (Space Launch System SLS and Orion crew capsule) and capsule to go to an asteroid. That is nearly SIX times more to build a new NASA rocket and capsule that does not go to ISS!! Does that balance make sense. Is LEO commercial transportation to ISS an important objective of NASA compared to what they are spending to a maybe futurestunt to return an asteroid rock by humans?Frank Thomas BuzzardWhat has happened to our capabilities is damaging to this country & needs a select congressional committee investigation!!!

This is nonsensical-- spread the word---Boeing proposal ( x37c) makes sense --why pay Russia-we should have our on capability!!!
Why do we keep paying the Russians???
