Dimitry Rogozin warned if no cooperation is extended, nothing can ISS from crashing down onto the US or Europe, The Sun reports.

“If you block co-operation with us, who will save the ISS from an uncontrolled deorbit and fall into the United States and Europe?” Rogozin tweeted on Friday.

A Twitter user  then asked the billionaire if SpaceX would keep the ISS from falling onto Earth, Musk replied: “Yes.”

In another photo, fans could spot the ISS without the Russian segment and a SpaceX Dragon attached instead.
