secure future.
Agency Comments Explain, Amplify Shuttle A ISS "Mistakes"

Perminov, discussing the diplomatic hassles surrounding the planned
April 2006 return of US Astronaut William McArthur after six months

the US and Russia over the latter country's funding of Iranian
nuclear experiments, it is currently against a 2000
Congressional law for the US to pay Russia to bring
McArthur back home aboard a Soyuz capsule-- and the space shuttle
is not expected to be ready by then.
