- SillyRabbits, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2Does the author really think that a hand held camera with an 800mm lens is going to give Russia more information than their hundreds of spy satellites - some with optics that approach that of Hubble?
- Scheitbag, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1reminds me of when they used small space stations exclusively for this sort of thing...

Wrong. There's no lack of repair, and no lack of upkeep parts.
The US plans to stop flying them because they're expensive to fly - especially when they'e building the Ares launchers and Constellation spacecraft.
But with the Russia/Georgia situation, watch for a decision soon to keep plying the shuttle. They'll need the decision soon, to keep the main tank and other production lines running. - rockon4life45, on 08/27/2008, -1/+1It'd be hilarious if there was somehow a Georgian on the ISS
- Leadman584, on 08/27/2008, -1/+1Don't worry in 2 years, the only countries capable of reaching the ISS will be Russia, China, Iran (maybe), and India. The shuttles are being mothballed because of lack of repair, or upkeep parts. Better change the passwords at the doors fast, or we will have zero control.
The Russians will probably make sure that Syrian, and Iranian Astronauts have access. Haul a few dozen nukes up, and presto, space launch platforms. Either blow the thing up, or finance better US transport methods. - Gioware, on 08/26/2008, -3/+2In Soviet Russia - They have spy in space too!
