Some space advice from the Russians?

Thank God that that useless space shuttle program is over.

NASA said the shuttle would lead us to a manned landing on Mars by the 1990s — we aren’t even close.

Now NASA says they don’t know how to get back to the moon; the technology seems to have been misplaced.

The International Space Station did make discoveries in medical and scientific research. But we should have used the Russian Soyuz rocket, which is faster and much cheaper.

Now that the shuttle program is over, we can’t put a man in space without help from Russia. And to add insult to injury, Russia is training cosmonauts for a manned mission to Mars.

Maybe we should ask the Russians for lessons on space travel.
