Une des d\u00e9cisions de sanction les plus \u00e9tranges, les plus incoh\u00e9rentes, prises aux USA soi-disant contre la Russie, suite \u00e0 l’affaire crim\u00e9enne, est celle de la NASA d\u00e9cidant d’interrompre nombre de programmes de coop\u00e9ration avec la Russie. Les cons\u00e9quences pourraient \u00eatre particuli\u00e8rement contraignantes, voire catastrophiques, principalement sinon exclusivement pour la NASA, dans le domaine des vols habit\u00e9s… (Une hypoth\u00e8se pour cette d\u00e9cision tr\u00e8s \u00e9trange est aussi qu’il s’agirait d’une manuvre tactique de la NASA pour obtenir des fonds du Congr\u00e8s pour d\u00e9velopper ses propres lanceurs, puisqu’elle n’en dispose plus depuis l’abandon du programme des navettes spatiales.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tUne interview de George Abbey, ancien directeur du Centre Spatial Johnson et qui enseigne la politique spatiale au Baker Institute de l’universit\u00e9 Rice, permet de mesurer l’ampleur des effets probables. Ainsi est mis en \u00e9vidence combien la seule superpuissance mondiale selon Obama d\u00e9pend compl\u00e8tement pour ses vols habit\u00e9s de la n\u00e9gligeable puissance r\u00e9gionale qu’est la Russie, toujours selon Obama. C’est une facette de plus de la vieille usine \u00e0 gaz anti-globalisation<\/a>. (Sur Russia Today<\/em>, le 4 avril 2014<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tRussia Today<\/em><\/strong> : \u00abYou were in the heart of some of these NASA operations, overseeing a number of missions to the ISS. Can the Russian and American space partnership survive this?<\/em>\u00bb <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tGeorge Abbey<\/em><\/strong> : \u00abOur astronauts are training in Russia. They’re well trained when they fly. And Russia not only launches our astronauts, but Russia provides a rescue vehicle for the space station for the six-month duration our astronauts are up there. They also return them back to us safely. We’ve been flying on the Soyuz. it’s a very reliable spacecraft and it’s very essential to our operations on the station.<\/em>\u00bb <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tRussia Today<\/em><\/strong> : \u00abCan you tell us where the scientific community stands on the issue?<\/em>\u00bb <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tGeorge Abbey<\/em><\/strong> : \u00abIt’s been very disappointing. Everyone that I’ve spoken with, my fellow colleagues both engineers and scientists were quite disappointed. We don’t think it’s a very wise decision and it certainly can affect the safety of operations in space. When you’re flying on an International Space Station you want to enhance cooperation and enhance communication, so when you start taking actions to lessen those communications, it’s not a very safe action and it’s not a very wise thing to do.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tRussia Today<\/em><\/strong>: \u00abNASA won’t be able to launch manned space flights for another three years. If Russia refuses to cooperate, where will this leave the US space program?<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tGeorge Abbey<\/em><\/strong> : \u00abThe United States right now is totally dependent on our Russian partners. When we stopped flying the space shuttle, we did away with our access to take humans to space and we rely completely upon Russia. Russia does a very good job flying our crewmen up to the space station, so if that were to end, the US human flight program would not really be implemented in any fashion until 2017 or much later.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 7 avril 2014 \u00e0 08H46<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La NASA se sanctionne elle-m\u00eame Une des d\u00e9cisions de sanction les plus \u00e9tranges, les plus incoh\u00e9rentes, prises aux USA soi-disant contre la Russie, suite \u00e0 l’affaire crim\u00e9enne, est celle de la NASA d\u00e9cidant d’interrompre nombre de programmes de coop\u00e9ration avec la Russie.
