Elon Musk points to recent SpaceX launch to mock Russia's suggestion the US might have to fly into space on 'broomsticks' after rocket sales stop
Russia announced it would stop selling rocket engines to the US after American sanctions.
Musk bit back at the Russian space chief's suggestion the US fly to space on "broomsticks."
Musk tweeted "American Broomstick," pointing to SpaceX's rocket launch hours after the comment.
Elon Musk took a jab at Russia's recent suggestion the US would have to get to space on broomsticks after the sale of Russian rocket engines was halted.
Dmitry Rogozin, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, said on Thursday that Russia would no longer supply rocket engines to the US after President Joe Biden's sanctions over the war in Ukraine.
"In a situation like this, we can't supply the United States with our world's best rocket engines," Rogozin said on state-run TV. "Let them fly on something else, their broomsticks, I don't know what."
Hours after Rogozin's comments, SpaceX launched 47 of its own Starlink satellites into orbit using the company's Falcon 9 rocket.
Musk responded to a video of SpaceX's launch on Twitter with a screenshot of Rogozin's comments highlighted along with the words "American Broomstick" and four US flags.
It's not the first time Musk has confronted Rogozin.
When Rogozin criticized Musk for offering Starlink internet in Ukraine, Musk tweeted: "Ukraine civilian Internet was experiencing strange outages – bad weather perhaps? – so SpaceX is helping fix it."
After Starlink went live in Ukraine over the weekend, one engineer told Insider that he was using the system for emergencies in case his regular internet connection was cut off.
Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet service, now has more than 2,000 satellites in orbit. Musk warned Starlink users in Ukraine to turn on the system "only when needed" because they could be targeted amid the invasion.

How big is the US space economy?
NASA’s budget is currently about 0.5% of federal spending, but thanks to the hard work of economists at the Bureau of Economic Analysis, we also know that’s about how much was spent on space in 2019—$194.6 billion, or 0.5% of total gross output in the US that year, which created 354,000 jobs. “We only spend half a percent of the economy on space and look what we have from it,” Tina Highfill, a BEA economist, says. Highfill began tracking the space economy in 2019, working through government statistics to isolate spending on everything from satellites to astronomy classes.

Analysis-Want lower oil prices? First you need higher ones
There is only one way oil prices are going to fall - by first rising even more. Global benchmark Brent and U.S. crude futures have soared over 15% to around 10- and 14-year highs, respectively, since Russia invaded neighboring Ukraine last week. Though global powers have unleashed a slew of sanctions that have so far stopped short of targeting Russian oil and gas exports, companies are avoiding Russian oil - tightening a market that was already struggling to keep up with demand that has roughly rebounded to pre-pandemic levels.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the country's annual parliament meeting, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Tang Renjian said that rare heavy rainfall last year delayed the planting of about one-third of the normal wheat acreage. A survey of the winter wheat crop taken before the start of winter found that the amount of first- and second-grade crop was down by more than 20 percentage points, Tang said.
