[FPSPACE] NASA wary of relying on Russia

[Edwin Cameron]

Yes, Jakob, there are some other things.  Perhaps you forgot the UNITY Module, but your point is well taken that much of the orbital ISS is Russian built, and serviced.

ISS. And according to my knowledge they are Krunichev made and 
Krunichev is Russian. So ISS is 90 % Russian.
You think the 2 nodes make up more than 10 %?
Columbus is European. Like I said most of the hardware America wanted 
to bring they cancelled.They only made the Truss.
Did I forget something?
The ATV that was brought to ISS should have been there in 2004. 
Everything was delayed or cancelled . But not by the russians
