Learning that Abe Aerospace Agency was going to reach a 10 billion US Dollar space cooperation deal with China, NACA lost it, and the Russia Space Agency lost it too.
Abe has always been known as a super cash cow, with wool ready to be sheared like chive blades on steroids: harvest after harvest.
The launch segments of the ISS International Space Station were handled by America and Russia, which subsequently opened up to all countries except China.
Abe was naturally included, having paid a lot to send its astronauts to Russia for training, and then for a stroll around the ISS Space Station.
Any scientific research purposes were non-existent; Abe was well aware it wasn't in the cards for them.
But a cash cow also needs aspirations, and floating 300 kilometers above the ground certainly was something to boost Abe's morale.
