A few days ago, a Soviet, erm, Russian spacecraft crashed into the moon after something went haywire.
I applauded.
Some Putin lover asked “why?”
A fellow American wrote “ A loser country brought about by 600 years of cruel despotism. 300 years of Romanov tyranny perfected by the modern Soviet state and its successor. A perfectly capable people, slaughtered and their potential retarded by centuries of vicious leadership. A country with a well-well-earned inferiority complex has caused them to lash out and oppress other people whenever they get half the chance. So, yeah, not a big Russia fan”
I too feel for the people of Russia. Her leaders continue to lead them down dark alleys and enrich themselves.
So yeah, regarding the failed Russian moon landing, Seinfeld would say, that’s a shame.
Go India!
Landing burn in 1 hr from now.
Touchdown in 1 hr 17 min.
You should start your own thread.
There’s no need.
This is the STEM equivalent of a prize fight, where all the trash talk gets settled. So far, Russia is down for the count, out cold having tripped on her own shoe laces on the way to the center of the ring.
All India needs to do, is get in the ring successfully.
Btw America remains The Greatest.
Let’s hope it doesn’t have to call back to India for instructions. It will be put on hold until the next available operator can respond.
I just clicked on the youtube link and it said my wait time is one hour.
India??? Joining China in BRIC? yup, go india/s
Well, India can afford to do this because it isn’t sending billions of rupees to Zelenskey every three months, and half of its welfare recipients have already emigrated to the US where they are being fed and clothed on the US taxpayers’ dime. So yeah, Go India. Right.
Is America in this game? The Russians failed, the Indians may succeed, and the Chinese are coming up to bat. Can we still accomplish space missions?
Kinda reminds me of live TV of mission control with spokeman Chris Kraft back in the day.
I looked at it as a moon landing. You had plenty of time to bash russia on other threads.
I would like to read some news and comments without someone shoving the ukraine or russia into it.
Who do these guys call for tech support?
Fair enough, and my intent wasn’t to make this a R-U thing. I dislike that as well. Go science!
WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN
Good for them. Congrats India!
The Soviet space program was pretty impressive during the Cold War. Even today, their Soyuz rockets are very reliable and they are able to launch satellites and astronauts to the ISS with it
Did they kick the extra point or did they go for the 2 point conversion?
