NASA'S LATEST SOYUZ SEAT PROCUREMENT MAY BE ITS LAST
----------------------------------------------------
NASA's recent purchase of six more round-trip seats on Russian Soyuz spacecraft, a deal worth $458 million, could be the last time the space agency sends a check abroad to ferry U.S. astronauts to and from International Space Station as rampant Russian inflation pushes the price of crew transportation higher, officials said.
