NASA: 3.5 billion for SpaceX to carry out three manned missions

Preamble:

In recent years, the tension in international relations has often become the focus of global attention, and the cooperation and contradictions between countries are intertwined, constantly affecting the development process in various fields of the world. As important players in the international space industry, Russia and the United States have always been close partners, but with the change of relations between the two sides, some unexpected situations have begun to appear.

Recently, Russia announced that it would stop exporting rocket engines to the United States, and as soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention from public opinion. As the leader of the international space industry, the United States naturally does not want to see such a situation happen, because after all, this will have a certain impact on the development of its space industry. However, it is worth noting that both the United States and Russia have world-class space programs, so cooperation between the two sides may be difficult to achieve in the short term, but this does not mean that they will stagnate, on the contrary, it may give rise to more "variables" and "opportunities".

1. Russia's cessation of rocket engine exports to the United States may cause short-term harm to the United States.

With the continuous development of the times, the progress of science and technology has become one of the important symbols of national strength, and aerospace technology is undoubtedly a field that all countries in the world attach great importance to today. In order to be able to better develop their own space industry, cooperation between countries has become an imperative choice, and it is precisely because of this that Russia and the United States have had close cooperation for many years, and both sides can get certain help and support in the space industry.

However, although Russia and the United States have maintained a cooperative relationship for a long time, the cooperation between the two sides has inevitably been affected by the international political and economic environment, and Russia's suspension of rocket engine exports to the United States is one of them.

You must know that the rocket engine is of great significance to the aerospace industry, it can be said to be its "heart", without it, no space mission can be carried out, so it is conceivable that without the support of Russia's rocket engine, the US space industry will be greatly affected, and even suffer some "short-term damage".

However, fortunately, the United States is not completely without a "backhand", after Russia announced that it would stop exporting rocket engines to it, the American space company SpaceX quickly became the focus of heated discussions, because with it, perhaps the United States space industry will not be greatly affected, but may get the opportunity to "turn over".

Second, SpaceX may become an opportunity for the United States to "turn over", and it is more likely to achieve its rise.

SpaceX is undoubtedly one of the most competitive space companies in the United States, and its technical strength in the field of aerospace has always been very strong, so it has also successfully signed a contract with NASA, which will carry out three manned space missions for it in the coming period.

It can be said that with the existence of SpaceX, the US space industry may no longer need to rely too much on Russia, because it already has the ability to carry out space missions independently, and it can also take advantage of this good opportunity to successfully achieve its own rise.

After Russia stopped exporting rocket engines to it, SpaceX's "rise" trend is also more and more optimistic, after all, under the current international aerospace field, the United States and Russia show a very strong sense of competition, therefore, only the United States can get rid of dependence on Russia as soon as possible, in order to gain more initiative in future cooperation, and the emergence of SpaceX may give the United States such an opportunity.

Third, Russia's cut off the supply of engines may allow the United States to truly develop independently and achieve its own rise.

The rise of SpaceX has undoubtedly brought a lot of "dawn" to the US space industry, because with it, perhaps the "space revolution" brought by the United States will be more colorful, and it will also bring more "surprises" to the development of the international space industry.

However, SpaceX is only a part of it, and the "big plan" has yet to be completed by subsequent developments, and now the issue of space cooperation between Russia and the United States may benefit the United States a lot, because Russia's move may allow the United States to really begin to seek independent development of its own space industry for a period of time, that is, they will begin to devote themselves more actively to their own space technology research, trying to find more "breakthroughs".

Of course, it is not an easy thing to achieve a real rise, and the United States must make more efforts and sweat, but at least the current situation has given them a good "opportunity" and also given them more "necessity" to actively think about and explore the future development direction of the space industry.

Epilogue:

Russia's interruption of engine supply may have a certain degree of impact on the US space industry for the time being, but in the long run, this may be the biggest "unexpected surprise" that the cooperation between the two sides can bring. Perhaps because of such a situation, the United States will continue to explore and seek new partners, and perhaps it will also begin to think about ways to cooperate with other countries to ensure that its own space industry will not be affected too much, and Russia may also begin to consider the direction of its own space industry development because of such differences, and will even build its own space station to promote the international space industry to a new level.

In any case, the development of the international space industry requires close cooperation among all countries, and only in this way can "common development" be truly realized.
