Good for these researchers. This ban is, as far as I've been able to tell, racism arising from political expediency. If it were about national security, we wouldn't be collaborating with Russia on the ISS (or allowing ourselves to be completely dependent upon Soyuz for access to the station for the indeterminate future). It's not about human rights, either - NASA collaborates with Saudi Arabia, enough said.
