We aerent allowed to buy hardware from russia because of those plants they
build for bad purposes.

Russia does it to make money.

So what we do is tell Russia clean up your act and stop immediately building
them. How many $$ were you selling?

We will buy that many dollars worth of space hardware and launch services:)
Paid for NOT by the US space budget:) But by anothetr budget line for general
world stability.Diplomatic type thing!

True it would take time to ramp up production... But that gives us time to plan
future uses!

Now I wonder what that could buy us?

Extra soyuz at station NO TROUBLE!
Finish station NO TROUBLE!
New station at a better location NO TROUBLE

You get the general idea, and whats best is its not paid for by space dollars!
Now US cointractors wouldnt be happy:( Except although it would decimate over
time launch services like booster building we use the current space $ for
building the probes that go on top of the now plentiful progresses.Plus it
gives us soyuz for crew rotation and a early shuttle retirement.

heck build progresses in russia and ship to KSC for launching lots of robot
probes.

WIN WIN FOR EVERYONE!

Russia behaves itself
Less chance of terrorism
Keeps russia busy doing something productive
Replaces shuttle fast
Space operations increase dramatically:):)
Doesnt hurt US companies (since the same money build probes rather than
boosters)

Now if this did occur, having a plentiful supply of progresses and soyuz what
sorts of jobs could we do in space?

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
