end the shame: astronauts launch again from the US to the ISS

It is one of the ironic twists in the history of the world: To have your most expensive building in the US-Americans without the Russians for years, no longer have access.

This should now be brought to an end After almost nine years of a break on Wednesday (27 to. May) start up again for the first time astronauts from the USA to the ISS.

This was the beginning of a "new Era of American leadership in space," said Vice President Mike Pence.

After that, the U.S. space Agency, Nasa, motet its Space Shuttle fleet due to cost reasons and had to rely for flights to the ISS since then to Russia. That was up to 80 million Euro per flight in a Russian Soyuz capsule only expensive, but scratched also powerful in the Ego.

Nasa has commissioned in 2014 by the way, in addition to SpaceX, Paypal and Tesla founder Elon Musk, also the US aviation giant Boeing to develop space shuttles for manned missions.
