MOSCOW, March 3 (Reuters) - Russia has decided to stop supplying rocket
engines to the United States in retaliation for its sanctions against
Russia over Ukraine, Dmitry Rogozin, head of the state space agency
Roscosmos, said on Thursday.

"In a situation like this we can't supply the United States with our
world's best rocket engines. Let them fly on something else, their
broomsticks, I don't know what," Rogozin said on state Russian television.

According to Rogozin, Russia has delivered a total of 122 RD-180 engines
to the U.S. since 1990s, of which 98 have been used to power Atlas
launch vehicles.

Roscosmos will also stop servicing rocket engines it had previously
delivered to the U.S., Rogozin said, adding that the U.S. still had 24
engines that would now be left without Russian technical assistance."

Good. Lazyass ULA - or some American company - should be making their
own engines anyway. Maybe this will get them more off their ass. And
you'd think - after already using 98 of them - they'd know how to work
on them by now.

Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.
