Rogozin is making new space threats (no trampolines this time).
All we need to do to end our dependence on the Russians is to stop thinking "Safety Is The Highest Priority." https://t.co/iGtd54u962

I believe it was a strategic error for Trump not to veto this bad legislation. If Congress wants to override, fine, they can prove that they can. I don’t think any president should accept Congressional overrides on his/her ability to leverage foreign states. A president is not subject to the Logan Act.
If a billion dollar oil rig were on fire, and someone needed to take a risk to run through the flames to close a valve to save the platform, someone would. And if no one did, I can easily envision a manger standing up and saying “$100,000 bonus if someone goes in and closes that valve” and getting volunteers. We have a multibillion dollar space station on the line and your chance of making it as a stowaway on a Cargo Dragon is on the order of 90% if you bring your life support system with you. If the astronaut corps doesn’t have people who’d take that risk (I bet they do), the private sector certainly does.
