Do you remember the Apollo missions?

Like Apollo 1, where the astronauts died before takeoff?

If you really want to get into this silliness, we can compare known astronaut and cosmonaut fatalities. America doesn’t come out so good by comparison at 4 cosmonaut deaths to 15 astronaut deaths. (And it’s even more lopsided if you include fatal training incidents.)

Gloating over another country’s misfortune with an unmanned space mission is ludicrous given our own history.

Stop embarrassing yourself with such juvenile behavior. It’s unseemly.
