Nassa is in much better shape now than it was when russia invaded crimea. Russia has been very vocal that it's not a fan of our artemis programme. And they have been discussing ways that they conglaverate with china. So i think it's in their best interests to continue working with us, but do we are no longer as interested in working with them? I don't want to knock the importance of space collaboration, but we are standing on our own these days.

This episode was produced by Will Reid, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Paul Mounsey, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Noel King.
