Russia's obligations to its US partners will end in the spring. A Soyuz rocket will then take two Russian cosmonauts... to the ISS. The third place will be reserved either for a space tourist or for an astronaut from the European Space Agency.

I can guarantee that every cent from Gregory Olsen goes back into the federal space program.

We hope that American shuttles will resume regular flights and we are offering our NASA colleagues the use of Soyuz as a rescue spaceship.
