@KathyLueders Lueders: "It would be very difficult for us to be operating on our own. ISS is an international partnership that was created as an international partnership with joint dependencies."
@KathyLueders Lueders: "I actually feel like this is a good message for us – that we are operating peacefully in space now and moving forward."
@KathyLueders Lueders: "It would be a sad day for international operations that we can't continue to peacefully operate in space."
