I agree 100% also I think that even though russia is cash strapped they have what is needed for the ISS and personally I think that russia should do what is in there best intrest like any one would do (flying tito) comercials ect.. but I think that the design for there side of the iss is small and is doesnt give them enough room to expand-being limited do we want it to last 15+yrs like mir did which was only rated for 5-or so when it takes 6+yrs to build its alreaddy getting old like the computers are going to be out-of date soon so NASA will spend$$ on old equipment like they have done with the shuttle and cant get parts any-more>>>
