The ISS was built to prove we could collaborate scientifically across nations despite wars.

Today, Germany has proven they can’t.



Despite differences, not despite wars.


It should perhaps be mentioned that Spektr-RG is not on the ISS, it's in a halo orbit around L2 (like Webb):

I think if anyone has proven anything here, it is Russia and Russia alone.

Getting upset at Germany for cancelling some scientific cooperation in response to literally invading a sovereign country and shelling civilian cities is, just, absurd.


This is only acceptable if they weren't going to share it with the international scientific community. Otherwise we're just shooting ourselves in the foot.
