Alternative Headline: Russians still masters of space Travel.
Not sure why so much joy comes from a failed attempt to reach space by your own countryman
That would be a false headline. SpaceX has conducted 25 successful launches of Falcon 9/Heavy as of yesterday 19APR2023 Rocket Lab has conducted four successful launches in that time period. In fact, America has conducted more successful space launches so far this year than the rest of the world combined.
By comparison, Russia (the whole country) has conducted 6 successful launches of anything as of yesterday 19APR2023.
China has conducted 17 successful launches so far this year, one short of three times Russia's count.
I know Russophilia is a popular disease around here, but it's really out of control when it leads to blatantly and ludicrously false statements. That dummy from Roscosmos really stuck his foot in his mouth.
