What you described already exists, and it’s called electric propulsion. Good news: it doesn’t produce X-rays.

Special operation crater.
Too vague without context. Maybe Luna-Grob (Luna-Grave)? Luna-25 was originally called Luna-Glob.

From LRO
How should we name the new crater?

what happened to the Soyuz 5 rocket concept I haven't heard much about it
The first launch is scheduled for the end of 2025. As I understand, they are still testing the RD-171MV engine. One engine is completed, two more are planned to be delivered before the first launch.
edit: ghost quote!

In Russia the satellite doesn't orbit the Moon! The Moon epicycles around Russian satellite! Da!
You got it wrong comrade. Both Luna-25 and the Moon itself are orbiting Russia. The spacecraft just has a weird epicycloid orbit, for now.

Wow. They're actually going to launch it. I'm not even sure I want to bet on this one, I'd just be wasting money : P
Yeah, Moon landers haven't been very successful last couple of years.

Chemistry can be a beast like that - sometimes the key to making a reaction work turns out to be some quirk of your experimental setup that you just haven't noticed
True. I’ve lost a few months trying to replicate a particularly difficult PCR. Worked once, then never again. Moved on to other things in the end. So we’ll just have to wait, I guess…

That is a truly impressive collection of miscellania.
What a great use of taxpayer money and launch mass budget, filling the rocket with random toys.

My mission control friend speaks Russian, he said p = расстояние
which my phone tells me translates to "distance."
You can see that there are other Greek letters on the screen, psi and gamma for example. From wiki:
QuoteSo ρ here definitely comes from Greek convention about polar coordinates, otherwise they’d use Russian «р» and other Cyrillic letters everywhere else.
-
Yes, ρ means length in polar coordinates, ῥ with dot means relative velocity.

Made it further than N1, at least.

it’s very challenging to predict the experience that any particular player will have on day 1.
An obvious solution to this is to use a pre-built reasonably sized rocket (e.g. Kerbal X) and test how well it performs on various PC hardware during launch. Then just publish the results.

The more or less developed species will get extinct in ~50..250 My.
Mass extinctions happen every ~100 My, but complex life always survives and manages to repopulate Earth. It'll adapt to the changing conditions next time too, as it always did.

Could it be someone testing a Macron cannon?

According to RKS' TG, temperature has "dropped", "possible leak location" has been identified (OK, Sherlock). Also, interestingly, the crew have unsealed Prichal to stow spacesuits there.
Is it still leaking, or has everything already leaked?

I wonder is it possible to just vent the atmosphere 'cause vacuum is a prefect insualator and equipment cooling system is NOT damaged and return to Earth like this.
If the heat can't be absorbed by the atmosphere, it will accumulate. Eventually things will start melting.

Are you suggesting that various Russian sources may at times contradict each other, and may not all be in agreement about what they regard as truth? Never have I ever ...
Shocking.

It’s at 50°C already, as per RIA Novosti sources.

Krikalyov: it's probably a micrometeorite.
BTW, are tiny fragments of destroyed satellites called micrometeorites too?

Just as planned.
Didn't need that satellite anyway!

Earlier they wrote that Baikonur will be renamed to Rogozinsk

I doubt Starlink can be jammed at all, by anyone. Both sats and terminals have phased array antennas, so you'd have to fly the jamming device between the dish and the satellite, for every satellite in the sky above the targeted region.
Possible signs of possible ET Life.

Or they just do their job. You know, researching stuff and making theories.
