Do we, the US, even have a vehicle capable of rescue at this point? With the shuttles retired, I'm not sure what our options are. Critics like to complain that the shuttles were too expensive, inefficient, so on and so forth but god damn if they werent a fantastic machine. Plus the astronauts could land the damn thing and walk off of it instead of landing in the damn ocean. Relying on Russia and god help us, SpaceX, seems kind of insane at this point, no?
