I suspect women programmers like the US had for Apollo 11 but we had a pilot that was able to bypass the bad computer code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hamilton_(software_engineer)
Ukes claim credit for defeating Ruzzian attack on Moon.
You always seem so frantic and emotional.
Did you look at your link?
That's entirely Vladimir Putin's choice.
Umm.....what about Russia under Putin?
Umm.....what about Russia under Putin?
Kids, kids... you're both right.
Except for the 2020 election. You are not permitted to question the election of Our Glorious Leader.
“...something else happening on the Moon”
Something else like what? If you were free to give a guess.
another example of Russian “technology”
Russia also sent 10 missions to Mars - every single one of them failed
similarly, we see how non-effective Russian “tech’ is on the battlefield ...
Which could lead you to the conclusion that they were not being genuine about their true intentions in the 60's.
Rocket science, it is a thing.
Parts made in China?
Hamilton later wrote of the incident:Wow. I'd never encountered that story before.The computer (or rather the software in it) was smart enough to recognize that it was being asked to perform more tasks than it should be performing. It then sent out an alarm, which meant to the astronaut, 'I'm overloaded with more tasks than I should be doing at this time and I'm going to keep only the more important tasks'; i.e., the ones needed for landing ... Actually, the computer was programmed to do more than recognize error conditions. A complete set of recovery programs was incorporated into the software. The software's action, in this case, was to eliminate lower priority tasks and re-establish the more important ones ... If the computer hadn't recognized this problem and taken recovery action, I doubt if Apollo 11 would have been the successful moon landing it was.

Thanks for posting!!!
(Note to others: It's worth the entire read at the link here , i.e., not wiki Margaret Hamilton Led the NASA Software Team That Landed Astronauts on the Moon Apollo’s successful computing software was optimized to deal with unknown problems and to interrupt one task to take on a more important one)
Ok, if you're going to reject the announcement from the Russian space agency, how are you going to 'discover the facts for yourself' about what happened to their lunar vehicle? How are you putting this advice in practice?
Even though hand held hps were aavilable...one math teacher insisted we use the slide rule...because...our brain should know the approximate answer...before we grab the calculator. I still find myself adding in my head as i put the items on the counter for the cashier....and know my change, too.
hidden figures. Good movie.
