The Russian Space Agency announced last week that it would charge NASA $51 millon for every seat occupied by an American astronaut in future space flights to the International Space Station. This will take place when the Shuttle fleet is retired in 2010 and the new Constellation Orion project begins in 2015.
This announcement proves that all the Space Agencies are in it for the money and nothing else. Why are the Russians charging NASA $16 million more for an astronaut's seat than they charge for a tourist's seat? GREED! NASA should back charge the Russian Space Agency for all those cosmonauts that rode free on past Shuttle missions.
