Charles Bolden the Head Administrator of NASA wrote a strongly worded letter to Congress after they slashed the American Commercial Crew Program being spearheaded by SpaceX and Boeing. He spoke out against relying on Russia over the future of the American Space Program. 

“I am writing to inform you that NASA, once again, has modified its current contract with the Russian government to meet America’s requirements for crew transportation services. Under this contract modification, the cost of these services to the U.S. taxpayers will be approximately $490 million,” Bolden wrote in an Aug. 5 letter to the leaders of the House and Senate committees responsible for deciding NASA’s funding.
