Of course, U.S. and Russian citizens don’t know the background machinations of the joint space effort between our two countries, nevertheless it begs the question if we can seemingly cooperate with the Russians/Americans in space why can’t we just get along on Earth?
In the meantime, we can only hope the space/mankind project
survives the harsher elements on the planet than those out in the vacuum of
space.
Here’s an image from the Integration Facility at the Baikonur
Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Expedition 51 crewmembers Fyodor Yurchikhin of the
Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos, left) and Jack Fischer of NASA (right)
provide a "thumbs up" as they pose for pictures in front of their
Soyuz booster rocket. Fischer and Yurchikhin will early morning (Eastern
time/US) April 20 on the Soyuz MS-04 spacecraft for a four and a half month
mission on the International Space Station. Godspeed.
