"The reality is that, after more than two months of ugly fighting in Ukraine,
the NASA-Roscosmos relationship has largely flown above geopolitical tensions.
There is no indication that will change in the near term and in his interview,
Rogozin is merely restating that the country could choose not to extend its
partnership beyond 2024. However, as he often does, Rogozin makes this
statement with a bit of bluster, seeking to project power.

What I have learned about covering Dmitry Rogozin for the last decade is that,
by far, the best policy to adopt toward him is to ignore what he says publicly.
To better understand the 58-year-old Putin-apparatchik's motivations, I spoke
on background with a former senior NASA official who has dealt with Rogozin for
years."
