It already is a hot war, ask the people in the Ukraine.
I’m not sure if this question has been asked:Will a side effect of Russia invading Ukraine be no more Russian collaboration with anybody?This is really worrying me.
Hopefully it will mean more money for NASA. I would hope the AR-1 Aerojet engine is built, and built to be reusable.

Musk says Starlink active in Ukraine as Russian invasion disrupts internetSAN FRANCISCO, Feb 26 (Reuters) - SpaceX billionaire Elon Musk said on Saturday that the company's Starlink satellite broadband service is available in Ukraine and SpaceX is sending more terminals to the country, whose internet has been disrupted due to the Russian invasion."Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route," Musk tweeted.>While extremely costly to deploy, satellite technology can provide internet for people who live in rural or hard-to-serve places where fiber optic cables and cell towers do not reach. The technology can also be a critical backstop when hurricanes or other natural disasters disrupt communication.>
I suppose that the circumstances that created the first Space Race - a complacent U.S. stunned by Sputnik, embarrassed by Vanguard TV-3, and left chasing as the USSR beat it to the Moon with Luna and then with Vostok 1's man in space, cannot recur. - Ed Kyle
Viasat’s European network is experiencing a partial outage. The issue, related to its Ka-SAT satellite, is currently affecting service for multiple fixed broadband customers across the region....The company also calls attention to the suspicious timing of the outage onset, “We don’t have the exact causes yet, but we can tell you that the disturbances began at about the same time as Russia invaded Ukraine.”
Have any of Russia's anti-space assets been spotted moving towards Ukraine? Not just hard-kill systems (which appear to all be stationary anyway, and would be a dramatic escalation inviting NATO response) but denial systems like their optical dazzlers and RF jammers.
The meeting is tomorrow morning 28th February. There has been a lot of people saying that they broke their word etc when it hasn't even started yet.
