WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 12th April, 2021) The International Space Station (ISS) is an ideal platform for the United States and Russia to develop better relations, Space Foundation CEO Tom Zelibor told Sputnik. That orbiting outpost would not have happened without either the Russian or the American people, and it is the perfect platform for us to develop better relationships with one another, Zelibor said. The truth is, the ISS was brought about by more than engineering and joint assembly spacewalks. It s an example of respect, human ingenuity and capacity building and those are the best foundations for any relationship to be built upon.
