Space crash

Many have regarded space as being above the ups and downs of Earthly politics, and for good reason. Since the creation of the International Space Station (ISS) and the 1998 signing of Space Station Treaty by the United States, the European Union, Canada, Japan, and Russia, astronauts and cosmonauts have worked side by side on scientific experiments and technological advances that have benefited Earth’s inhabitants. However, Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine has now jeopardized not only the balance of power aboard the ISS, but also the multi-national satellite and space industry itself.
