[b]Commercial Spaceflight Federation President Michael Lopez-Alegria Statement on NASA Contract Extension with Roscosmos[/b] “It is disheartening that we must continue to rely on increasingly expensive Russian vehicles to take our astronauts to the International Space Station. NASA’s commercial cargo program, undertaken in partnership with Orbital Sciences and SpaceX, has been highly successful in creating reliable, cost-effective American cargo delivery to the ISS, and we support NASA’s continued and vigorous work on the follow-on Commercial Crew Program. Unfortunately, limited funding has delayed this program in the past and we strongly urge Congress to provide the necessary appropriations to keep the program on schedule. In difficult economic times, extending the offshoring of American jobs to Russian rocket companies is not a practice the American taxpayers should support.”
