This has already failed, the railroad tracks are not smooth (none are, suspension on the cars merely gives the illusion they are) and a number of the ground crew probably have tense backs from bending over to get stuff ready over the past weeks.

DDE Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 In part three (?) of "how to confuse the attention-deficient public with headlines", Borisov is now being quoted as saying that Russia won't exit the ISS until 2028. What he's actually saying is that there's a hard commitment until 2024 and after that, an extension is "highly likely". https://tass.ru/kosmos/15827337?utm_source=yxnews&utm_medium=mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure about costs, but so long as a serious technical danger doesn’t arise, from a practicality POV it seems like it would be easier to extend the ROS life for just two more years instead of trying to separate them. Or would splitting the station be easier than I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDE Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Besides the expected lament about "Space for @all (some caveats apply)", the article spends quite a bit of time on remarking that International Launch Services still exists.

Rogozin is just that much of a threat to SpaceX. Need to keep him in *that place* instead of building innovative trampolines that threaten Starship’s commercial viability. 1 hour ago, DDE said: 65th anniversary of Sputnik, and the Ministry of Defence decides to slop6in that it "conducts experiments with other nations' satellites in orbit". https://ria.ru/20221004/rossiya-1821306516.html?utm_source=yxnews&utm_medium=mobile This isn’t that odd actually. I think reconnaissance ships (actual reconnaissance ships, not hydrographic vessels) were deployed in “oceanography” squadrons in the VMF. Checking just now, it looks like they continue to do so in the present day VMF RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many KSP mods represent it, so many modders would be sad to have it lost. 2 hours ago, Codraroll said: If there even exists a Russian crewed spaceflight program by then, I'll be surprised. I'll be surprised if Starship/SH will ever fly and return, and wondering what will all those fancy new spaceships be visiting after ISS fall, as other station projects are at even lower degree of completion thsn ROSS (it at least has metal modules). But you are right, launching metal barrels to space is a magic, restricted to only a few. Say, look at EU and UK. Still nothing like Vostok is launched, so we can cooperate when the Starship dream will bury viable projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
