Alternatively, NASA doesn't want to sour the relation with Roscosmos while the investigation is ongoing, and what's said publicly isn't an indication of what happens behind the screens. At this level, there's a lot of politics involved as well.

- icegreentea2 5y agoYou're right, they could be trying to get people to ignore. I think it's more likely they're in an awkward political/diplomatic holding pattern. They definitely can't say that they are continuing to investigate unless they've been cleared to do so, since investigating starts implying patterns of responsibility. It's definitely a gong-show.
