RT... The Pentagon has introduced restrictions that will prevent American companies from using Russian space rocket launches and satellite services, set to take effect in 2023.

The rule will levy “additional prohibitions with regard to acquisition of certain foreign commercial satellite services, such as… satellites and launch vehicles,” according to a Pentagon notice published on the US Federal Register website on Thursday.

Russia is now being added to the list of “covered foreign countries” affected by the rule, which also includes China, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria.

The notice also places a ban on the purchase of items from Chinese companies that it classifies as “munitions.” Also on rt.com Russia’s Soyuz rocket HIT BY LIGHTNING during launch (VIDEO)

The US currently relies on Russian Soyuz rockets to shuttle NASA astronauts into space. Washington has partnered with private aerospace firms SpaceX and Boeing to develop its own carrier craft. The two firms were awarded contracts in 2014, aiming to fly a manned mission in space by 2017, but the projects have experienced delays and the craft are still undergoing tests.

SpaceX’s Dragon and Crew Dragon shuttles have successfully docked at the International Space Station (ISS), but neither with a crew on board.

Still without a shuttle, the US earlier this month was forced to purchase seats aboard a Soyuz for two NASA astronauts destined for the ISS.

Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, condemned the decision in a statement Thursday, calling the move a clear example of “unfair competition.”

Might have been smarter to wait until the US already had.... you know... an ability to launch US astronauts into orbit.

Co-operation on space research, launching, etc., would lead to safer, more productive space exploration. But can't have that when the crazy Jew wants Russia hassled for interfering in Syria over Zionist's Greater Israel Plan; it's the latter agents who determine the make up of the US policy-making Congress with campaign funding and media promotion.

Since NASA can't launch shit thanks to buckwheat, this seems rather short-sighted.

Probably so, but when Zionists want Russia lambasted for scuttling their crazyness in ME, all those in the bureaucracy and political theatre have to fall in line.

Strange though most times when I post revealatory comments as in #2, I get an error glitch which denies me access to 4um. Anyone else experience a cannot connect last night?

Seems straightforward and factual to me.

I've never had any glitches on any of my posts or replies to date.

Well it could just be my dial-up. But then again I don't recall any simplified exposes by you of Jew connivance and skullduggery.

U.S. astronauts are using Soyuz to get to the I.S.S.

Do you think this might be a reason Trump wants to revitalize NASA programs?

Plus spending more U.S. funds on rocket launches too. After all, getting rid of the FED is a priority for our financial well-being. ;)
