Saudia Arabia and Russia sign space exploration agreement
The competition heats up: Saudia Arabia has signed a deal with Russia to work together to explore space for peaceful purposes.
This deal has less importance to the exploration of space. Instead, it signifies clearly the worsening relations between the U.S. and Saudia Arabia. For decades the Saudis would always turn to the U.S. for such deals. They are now looking elsewhere, having found the U.S. to be an unreliable partner during the Obama administration.
