With tensions ratcheting up by the minute, did anybody think about the ISS? 4 NASA 2 Russians and 1 ESA still up there. Last public word said that operations would continue as normal and on schedule.....We'll see.

It's the governments at each other's throats. Not the citizens. In the space station are regular guys who could probably give less of a :censored2:.

Last I heard the Russians are the major transporter and haven't they used Ukraine in the past as the place where they touched down. Haven't heard who will bring them back this time. If it's the Russians or a contractor. In any event you can't overlook the fact that the US has been dependent on Russian lift capabilities .

"Dimitry Rogozin warned that Russian tech and expertise is needed to prevent the ISS from crashing down onto the US or Europe, The Sun reports.

“If you block co-operation with us, who will save the ISS from an uncontrolled deorbit and fall into the United States and Europe?” Rogozin tweeted on Friday, following president Joe Biden’s announcement of sanctions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

But Musk weighed in by replying to Rogozin’s threat with the SpaceX logo."

When a Twitter user asked the billionaire if this meant SpaceX would keep the ISS from falling onto Earth, Musk replied: “Yes.”


He also replied to a tweet that showed the ISS without the Russian segment and a SpaceX Dragon attached instead.

“Good thread,” Musk wrote."
