Veteran astronaut Scott Kelly criticizes Russian space chief as war of words erupts

Retired astronaut Scott Kelly hit a nerve with Russian space chief Dmitry Rogozin in wake of Ukraine invasion.

In an apparently deleted tweet Monday, Rogozin reportedly said"Get off, you moron! Otherwise, the death of the #ISS will be on your conscience."

"I think looking at plans, contingency plans, what they would do if we had the partnership with the Russian fall apart," Kelly told CBS News. "I think it would send a good message to the Russians that if they want to get out of this partnership, then we can do it ourselves," he said."We don't really need them. We did a few years ago, but not anymore, right? We can get people to the space station" aboard SpaceX Crew Dragon capsules and, eventually, Boeing's Starliner.
