"CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Astronauts may need to take the unprecedented step of temporarily abandoning the International Space Station if last week's Russian launch accident prevents new crews from flying there this fall..........."

My, my, how far the mighty have fallen so fast. When you put all your eggs in one basket and the basket breaks.

The Space Station used to get supplies from the Shuttle and the Ruskie rockets. Now the Shuttle is gone the only resupply vehicle is the Ruskie rocket and since the last two have gone whammo they're not too keen on putting a human crew on one.

Mother Russia must have truly lost faith in their capabilities then. I heard that the ISS had enough supplies for a year when the last rocket didn't make it. I sure hope they get their act together. Wait... strike that. I sure hope WE get our act together.
