NOTE: BpEarthwatch has some rocket strike video as well but he has disabled the EMBED CODE. Apparently he is afraid to loose advertising revenue. It makes me wounder about BPEW'S true motivations.
He seems to have conflict at times between advertising revenue and warning his fellow man..
I wonder how the god he prays to sees this as well.. Morpheus

ON THE VERGE OF WW3. Russia to ban US from using Space Station over Ukraine sanctions.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/world...
Russia is to deny the US future use of the International Space Station beyond 2020 and will also bar its rocket engines from launching US military satellites as it hits back at American sanctions imposed over Ukraine crisis.
Russia's deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin announced a series of punitive measures on Tuesday against the US in response to sanctions imposed after Russia annexed Crimea.
The two countries have long cooperated closely on space exploration despite their clashes in foreign policy.
The Space Station is manned by both American and Russian crew, but the only way to reach it is by using Russia's Soyuz spacecraft.
The US is keen to keep the $100 billion (£600) ISS flying until at least 2024, four years beyond its original target.
What other World Powers Could or have the Technology to do this?

A Russian rocket carrying its most advanced communication satellite to date
fell back to Earth minutes after lift-off on Friday in the latest blow to
the country's once-proud space industry.
Space officials said the Proton's control engine failed 545 seconds (just over
nine minutes) after its night-time blastoff from the Baikonur space centre
Moscow leases in Kazakhstan.
State television showed the carrier and its Express-AM4P satellite burning up
in the upper layers of the atmosphere above China.
"We have an emergency situation," Channel One television showed a
Russian flight commentator as saying. "The flight is over."
Russia's Roscosmos federal space agency said it had formed a commission "to
analyse the telemetric data and discover the reasons for the emergency
situation".
