MinimumSky5 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Why did they allow those officials near to the quarantined crew? That renders the entire exercise pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That renders the entire exercise pointless. It's hard to make good looking photos when official and the cosmonaut stand 2 meters from each other, or are separated by glass. How were they supposed to shake hands and smile at the camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCgothic Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) I've seen a tweet supposedly from a family member of an astronaut/cosmonaut suggesting the quarantine arrangements are a joke. Edit: Ah yes. Evan Hadfield, Chris's son. Edited April 20, 2020 by RCgothic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Sea Launch is frozen. The reasons are economical. Including that the financial conditions at the new place are twice worse than on American coast of the ocean, while were promised to be the same. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=ru&sl=ru&tl=en&u=https://www.interfax.ru/russia/705635 Edited April 23, 2020 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Rogozin has explained that it's impossible to join Roscosmos efforts in space with SpaceX, because SpaceX has contracts with 5gon, and Starlink will be also used for military purposes. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=ru&sl=ru&tl=en&u=https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/26/04/2020/5ea5ca2d9a79472c60a7317a So, while Musk tights with green men, he has no chance to join with Roscosmos and needs to be very sure if he really wants to continue this.

Quote Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Rogozin was pretty explicit a week ago that Roscosmos's military nature means it is not subject to any of the COVID lockdown measures.

DDE Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Bart Hendrickx has linked Burevestnik to the MiG-31-based ASAT. https://www.thespacereview.com/article/3931/1 Which makes it an orbit-capable space launch vehicle. This means the Ishym SLV did not die a quiet death as previously believed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
