What this boils down to is that Energia needs a cash infusion. MirCorp's NBC deal does not provide them with any money up front. So MirCorp while it may have lots of hype surrounding it right now is short on cash which it must provide to Energia. The Russians are saying put up or shut up. Cash talks otherwise this station comes down. MirCorp has less then two weeks to come up with the cash or MIR will be finished.
