Starting to read this on other sites. Only a few lines in comparision and after this article was live. Why do other sites never link back here? Maybe this site should do likewise.

The Russians didn't bend over backwards to help with this. They just went to the end of their normal window. Better than nothing, but not a great effort from the Russians.

Upset that an Englishman is beating them to the news, and don't want to show themselves up. Threatened by competition. Take your pick, but more and more people are coming here, so their efforts are futile.

OK before getting into a spat do those other sites normaly like to the first to break the news? There are other sources out there, it's just good to know this site is often first  :)

My only concern is with providing breaking news and in-depth information to the readers of this site. It's also worth nothing that other, seasoned space flight reporters have been nothing other than helpful and friendly.

This site's success will be based soley on the content we produce for it, not who links to it.

It is unprofitable to us to postpone Soyuz TMA-9 launch from September 14 due to big financial expenses and due to need of changing of our plans... But, despite of it, we shall delay our launch till September 18 at NASA request...
