Last week came news that one of the warring oligarchs had been questioned by Interior Ministry investigators and that one of his Russian-American associates had had his Russian visa confiscated as he left Moscow and had been placed on a list of immigration "undesirables...
...shutdowns, a leaking cooling system, dangerous spins, power brownouts--U.S. space officials have been under pressure to stop putting astronauts aboard, a privilege costing NASA about $472 million over five years.
