The head of Russia's space agency expressed his excitement today for the delivery of the next crew of cosmonauts to the International Space Station.
His choice of words was odd.
The State Commission at Baikonur approved the main and backup crews of the Soyuz.
Is it true that violence could break out on the International Space Station? There is a chance that the expression was used as a rally cry, similar to something one would shout at soccer players from the sideline.
The words may have been chosen to further inflame tensions around Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its effects on the international space community.
In response to countries imposing sanctions on Russia, Rogozin made a number of inflammatory comments.
He warned the United States of a500 ton structure on the International Space Station.
NASA and the European Space Agency say that operations on the International Space Station are unaffected by the crisis on the surface below.
There are four NASA astronauts, one German astronaut, and two Russian cosmonauts on the International Space Station.
They will be joined later this week by three more Russian cosmonauts, who will be launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome tomorrow.
On March 30, the original two cosmonauts and Mark Vande Hei will return to Earth on a Russian spaceship, a rather awkward trip given the circumstances.
It is not possible to peer directly into his mind to understand what he meant with his most recent statement.
It wouldn't be the craziest thing he's ever said if he really meant to call for violence in space.
NASA explained what would happen if Russia abandoned the space station.
