Reply to comment by gerkletoss in Russia may need to send a rescue mission to the International Space Station for 3 astronauts after a leak in their Soyuz capsule by A_Lazko
I dont think Russia is interested in the headlines of an american company rescuing russian cosmonauts right now.

Do they prefer it to NASA doing it personally though? That's the question.

At that point, it doesnt matter what they prefer, because NASA doesnt personally have anything available to do it. Besides aforementioned private company.
If they cant send anything up themselves, its gonna be a PR shitshow for them no matter what, so they might just end up choosing what makes the US look the least good.

Propaganda! The contracted company was specifically called "the Not-Space Company" . The CEO Melon Eusk was very clear as he tweedled his mustache

Lmfao imagine thinking Elon is on Russia's side, especially when it comes to Roscosmos.
Elon is a lot of things. But Russian puppet is not one of them. He famously started SpaceX because he tried to buy a rocket from Russian oligarchs and they literally spat in his face. He's repeatedly joked that if he accepts an invitation to go have dinner with the head of Roscosmos, they'll serve him Polonium tea.
Here's a hint: the main reason Roscosmos is in shambles today, and that Elon is one of the richest people in the world, is because Elon has managed to cannibalize their main foreign income stream and direct it into his own pockets by taking all of their customers.

Minor nitpick: Most of Musk's wealth is from Tesla. SpaceX generates a few billion a year lately, nothing to sneeze at but nowhere near enough to make one the richest in the world.
