But doesn't Moscow owe Mr. Trump something? Because he has taken a lot of flack for speaking to Putin in the first place, something that Joe Biden never did directly.

It has been a bit of a saga, but it's not that unusual for rockets to be delayed. And it wasn't actually a problem with the rockets. It was a problem with the ground-based system that launches the rockets. So the launch was delayed. The NASA officials took the decision to do that.

Yeah, and as you say, Nick, a lot of money is being talked about and also really ambitious projects for new high tech in military hardware. But how fast realistically are they going to be able to get any of this together?
