Take into account the international space station in the United States has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in construction – if coupled with the ground and from orbit on space shuttle material transport cost is billions – NASA spokesman for Davidoff plan, said Shen shock, Thisisn thefirsttimeI eseenRussiacomeoutwithastatementthatseemstobecomingoutoftheirownstovepipes, “onecongressionalrepresentativetoldFoxNews.com.” Iwouldgiveitnocredenceatall. “
