Russia can leave American scientist in ISS [TKB World]

Russia has threatened America with revenge. Russia has said that they will leave behind an American astronaut into space. Mark Vande Hei of NASA is in the International Space Station. Two Russian astronauts are also with him. All of them have to return on 30 March via the Russian spacecraft Soyuz.

But according to the report of the Daily Mail, Dmitry Rogozin, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, has threatened that he will leave the American astronaut in space or else they will crash the International Space Station[ISS] and drop it to Earth. They can do this to take revenge on America. Because the USA is supporting Ukraine against the Russian attack.

In a conversation with Daily Mail regarding the matter, the mother of Mark Vande Hei said that this is a terrible threat. When I first came to know about this, I cried a lot. This is very disturbing. We are just praying. Mark will return after orbiting 355 days. No Western astronaut had spent so much time in space before. But Rogozin, an aide of Russian President Vladimir Putin, stirred up a video on Twitter. He threatened that he would leave Mark Vande Hei into space and take out the Russian part from the ISS (International Space Station). Due to which he will fall down to the earth with ISS.

Rogozin said- Do you want to end our cooperation in the ISS? If so, who will save the ISS from falling into the U.S. or Europe? Rogozin recently said that due to illegal sanctions imposed by the US, the 500-ton ISS will crash and fall in Western countries. On the other hand, Mark Vande Hei’s mother said on this matter – it is a matter of shame that the matter is being politicized in this way. His wife living in Texas is worried. This is a very difficult time for them.

Mark’s father says that this is just a threat from a person. Although he is the head of the Russian Space Agency. The rest of the people in the space agency seem very cooperative. Our son is not so easily scared. Elon Musk has proposed to save the American astronaut. He said that if the Russian people leave Mark in space, he will send his SpaceX rocket to save him. On the other hand, NASA is confident that Mark will return according to the schedule.
