Oh goody another deny of reality

Good to know you ignore that which did happen

[ETCM]

I’d be tempted to gloat, but we haven’t landed anything on the Moon in decades, either.

We’re too busy flying helicopters on Mars.

“ Oh goody another deny of reality”

It’s not a coincidence that the same people also believe in other conspiracy theories, like those about the Covid vaccine. Begs the question why people believe in conspiracy theories in the first place. This has been a subject of research.

Oh, those Ukrainians with their anti-drone guns!

Luna 15 reprise?

These are the guys that were America’s only access to the ISS for 10 years. The Shuttle program ended and Soyuz was the only way.

They also do unmanned resupply to ISS via Soyuz so it’s not like they don’t know how to code.

A catastrophic failure would have been noted by now. My bet is an orbit modification burn was too long or too short duration and now they have to figure out if they can land from that altitude. A guess.

Not as easy as it looks eh Ivan?

[Sequoyah101]

No, no, no, no.

Someone promised the Moon it could join NATO so Ruzzia attacked it.

[DoughtyOne]

Ooops. My mistake.

[Celtic Conservative]

This again? Give my regards to Elvis and the Loch Ness monster.

“I’m hoping they make a crater. That’s about all Ruzzia can make these days.”

They can also do small holes as well. With bullets.
So they can actually do TWO things.

Russia has a “great” future...

Landing things on Mars is more difficult still. The U.S. has demonstrated great skill in that.

[...] is it's hard to pre-cool the valves to -450 C [...]

Not only "hard" - completely impossible (-450 °C is below Absolute Zero).

"Stuff like this takes practice, and the Russians haven’t landed anything on the Moon in decades. I’d be tempted to gloat, but we haven’t landed anything on the Moon in decades, either."

We thought the moon would have more basic amenities by now.

[cba123]

Actually that is completely true.

[Clutch Martin]

“I bet it lands, but not slowly”

I would have used the term “mooned”

as in

I bet it mooned, but not slowly.

Pelvis Elvis and Nessie are more likely than a man making it through the Van Allen Belts and back.

[MeganC]

We were both right! ROTFLMAO!!!!
