Russia's power play in Georgia could have ramifications that extend all the way to the International Space Station. Currently, Russia has agreed to transport U.S. Astronauts to the ISS through 2011, but some lawmakers are worried what would happen after that if relations between the two countries deteriorate.Last week Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama) joined the call of three other Republican Senators including John McCain (R-Arizona) asking President Bush to stop NASA from taking any actions for a year that would preclude extending the Space Shuttle.The U.S. ticket on the Russian Soyuz is tied to the Iran, North Korea, Syria Nonproliferation Agreement, one part of which bans payments to Russia in connection with the ISS (pdf) unless Russia is taking steps to prevent proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and other weapons technology. A waiver for this part of the agreement runs out in 2011.Without a new waiver, U.S. Astronauts would be stuck without a ride from 2011 until a new human vehicle is ready around 2015. NASA needs the waiver approved this year to get a Soyuz by 2012 because the Russian spacecraft take three years to build. Many think that this waiver will be harder to get given Russia's recent actions. But extending the Shuttle is not the answer. It would not remove the need to keep a strong relationship with Russia because NASA will still need two Russian Soyuz vehicles a year to provide emergency escape vehicles fo ...

Thirty years ago Monday, the first Lego minifigure was manufactured and packed into a Lego set. That 'miniman' was a firefighter, but soon to follow was an astronaut and since then, 2-inch spacemen have become a standard among the four billion men sold. The helmet-equipped figures have recreated NASA history as Apollo Astronauts and even made space history as the first "man" on Mars attached to the Spirit and Opportunity landers. Minifigs were also launched on the space Shuttle. ...
