Okay.  Good.  Maybe you can explain the logic of how MirCorp, which is not
generating any revenue for Energia (and is promising to pay for
yesterday's Progress launch sometime next month), is going to provide this
revenue stream?

I find it amusing that the head of a company that is admittedly broke is
claiming that it will help pay for the Russian commitment to ISS.  Sure,
just as soon as pigs fly.
