Russia Charging NASA $70 Million Per Rocket Seat

NASA is paying 
$424 million more to Russia to get U.S. astronauts into space, and the 
agency’s leader is blaming Congress for the extra expense.

That’s $70.6 million per seat — well above the previous price tag of about $65 million.

NASA
 Administrator Charles Bolden said if Congress had approved the space 
agency’s request for more funding for its commercial space effort, the 
latest contract would have been unnecessary.
