Former Astronaut Scott Kelly Tells Russian Space Chief Dmitry Rogozin to Find McDonald's Job

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly has publicly clashed with Dmitry Rogozin, director of Russia's Roscosmos space agency, on Twitter, with Kelly implying that Russia could soon have no space industry at all without international cooperation.

The hostile exchange was sparked by a March 2 tweet by Rogozin which included footage of Roscosmos staff apparently stripping a Russian rocket of international flag decals.

Against this backdrop of Roscosmos cutting ties with foreign countries, Scott Kelly, a former NASA astronaut and ISS commander, appeared to tweet at Rogozin on Sunday, referring to him as "Dimon" whilst linking to the footage of Roscosmos staff removing foreign flags from the Russian rocket.

Kelly wrote, translated from Russian: "Dimon, without those flags and the foreign exchange they bring in, your space program won't be worth a damn. Maybe you can find a job at McDonald's if McDonald's still exists in Russia."

5. At least we can still get to the ISS on our Space Shuttle.

Oh wait.

I always said we should have kept the Space Shuttle program going while another system was developed.

6. The Crew Dragon can do that just fine at a much cheaper price than the shuttle

or hitching a ride with the Russians. Seems to be working pretty well now.
