Russian Deputy Prime Minister to NASA: Hey, why don't you trampoline to the ISS...

Ending the space shuttle program before we had a replacement was a mistake made by George Bush. Barack obama doubled-down on it and cancelled the replacement to fund his entitlement state expansion. Now, we either have to kiss Russia's butt or start building a giant trampoline or slingshot.

Via NBC News:

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, a target of U.S. sanctions sparked by the Ukraine crisis, said Tuesday that those sanctions would boomerang against America's space effort and essentially told NASA to take a flying leap ... on a trampoline.
"After analyzing the sanctions against our space industry, I suggest to the USA to bring their astronauts to the International Space Station using a trampoline," Rogozin said via his Russian-language Twitter account.

Проанализировав санкции против нашего космопрома, предлагаю США доставлять своих астронавтов на МКС с помощью батута http://t.co/8zGQhr9GVi
