With that said, I am very curious on what is NASA's contingency plan if our Russian friends for whatever reason can't or won't deliver fulfill their promise?
Evacuate, courtesy of the Russian Federation's Soyuz craft. Fortunately I gather they've got a years supply of food up there. Not too sure about clothes though as one major problem still to be cracked is how to wash clothes in space.
