Back in 2014, as our relations with Russia began deteriorating, Congress threatened not to purchase any more RD-180 rocket engines from them (actually we still needed dozens of them, & did purchase those, in order to keep our Atlas 5 flying.).


A key Russian space official, Dmitry Rogozin (who now is currently the head of Russia`s Space Agency), shot back with the remark  -  "Perhaps the US. astronauts should use a trampoline to reach the International Space Station"


Well yesterday, at a post launch news conference, Elon Musk showed some wit as he joked  -
"The trampoline is working"


He was not sure that everyone understood his joke, but many of us did.  Due to my own competitiveness, I always appreciate some "games man ship."
