An excellent analysis in New Scientist on the approaching crisis for NASA arising from the fact that it's committed to buying post-shuttle space flights from a nation the US is no longer sure it's friendly with.

It's worth noting that the author is Henry Spencer, long regarded as one of the most sensible and well-informed space pundits online, right back to the days when all we had was one sci.space newsgroup.

Henry Spencer was already a longstanding net.god (do people still use that phrase? :)) when I first crawled onto usenet in '86. Not only did he know everything about spaceflight, he was also one of the most clued up people outside Bell Labs on C and Unix. What he said, went.
