I don’t know the specifics, but I can guarantee to you that the Russians negotiated a deal. They don’t work for free. Moreover, the Russian astronauts routinely get paid additional monies for doing this commercial work.

As I’ve said repeatedly, the Russians have in many ways become better capitalists that we are.
