My understanding is that, in retaliation to US sanctions imposed at the start of the invasion of Ukraine, Russia stopped providing RD-180 rocket engines that were used in the Atlas V. My surprise is that the USA relied on Russian rocket engines to put national security payloads into space.

They will have suits. There is a spare on the ISS, and Dragon will bring another one up. They covered that in the press conference.
They are certainly there with no means to return until February, which they will do on a different company's capsule, from a mission that was supposed to last 8 days and instead will last 8 months. That sounds like stuck to me.
Whose fault is it, if not Boeing's?
Thanks! I was sure there was a nomenclature, I just forgot what it was. Cheers for the reminder.
The Russians, the Iranians, the proud boys and uncle Jack in the family WhatsApp are all part of the same hydra of crap.
I see what you mean, but I disagree. Bot accounts are categorically different in this space. It's impossible to have a meaningful conversation with a bot. So when I see things like bot activity disguised to look like organic human activity, especially when it aligns with hostile foreign state interests, that's something that I think is uniquely bad and worth pointing out and combating.

I only bring it up to make the point that not everybody is calling what Nvidia is doing 'groundbreaking innovation'.
I mean, Nvidia is being sued by rightsholders in a class action lawsuit.
Theoretical question - would it be possible to get so gassed up that if you peed in the pool you'd make everyone else test positive?
This seems interesting. What's the context here?
I take your anti-corporate point. However, I believe pro-doping would totally work if it was a gladiatorial bloodbath decathalon within the olympics itself. And if you get caught doping in the non-doping sports, you're forced to compete in the decathalon with the juiced up killers. Jousting, Barenuckle boxing, Pride rules MMA, Hell in a Cell, no rules water polo, shit like that.

Interesting. Thanks for the info! I love learning about this stuff.
In case you know - was there some sort of exclusivity agreement the USA had for their Russian rocketry purchases? What would have prevented Russia from sharing their info with whoever they wanted, while still selling to the USA? Or was this agreement guided by political norms? Was the Clinton program named? I'd like to learn more about it.
