Russian Space Agency Chief Wants Shuttle Extension

The head of Russia's space agency said Friday that he had hopes that NASA would extend the lifespan of its shuttle fleet, and had indications that it was possible."From some sources we have learned that it is possible to extend the life of the shuttle beyond 2011," RIA news agency quoted Roscosmos chief Anatoly Perminov."Then the situation would change substantially and it would be possible to work jointly with the Americans, unlike now, when the main burden (for the ISS) lies with the Russian side."
