Energiya Pushes For A 6-Person Space Capsule

Posted by timothy on from the isn't-funded-'til-it's-funded dept.

voss writes "Apparently the Russians want to build their own reusable capsule called the Clipper that can be used up to 25 times and can fit 6 people. They also say they can build their ship in 5 years. The key here is if they can get the funding. The shuttle will be retired in 2010 and with no credible replacement on the horizon...why doesn't NASA give the Russians a chance?"

    I don't care about Brazil's space program... Keep building those transexuals, though. What is it with Brazil and sexy transexuals? Other countries mostly produce monsters with makeup, but Brazil? Man!!
