Man, I want to see that big, ridiculous, Kerbal thing fly. :wub:

NET 2028 currently. It'll take so long because it first needs a flying Souyz-5 (they become the boosters), and a heavy Angara-A5V (Yenisei uses Angara's hydrogen upper stage). Oh, and they haven't even started building a launch pad for it.

F-850, huh? I hope it's no relation to the T-800...

You know it can shoot guns, right? Double-wield, even. And there’s NO US cargo going up on this launch, either. 

This is starting to sound more and more like the plot to some sci-fi horror movie. :wacko:

Sending a Russian robot that can hold and accurately shoot not one but two guns to the most expensive research base ever can't go wrong, not at all.

Iirc there are or were guns in the soyuz spacecraft in case of a landing in an area with bears. They may have been taken out a while ago though.

Does he get one of those knives they used on the Soyuz hole EVA?

The former TP-82

had been replaced with usual PM

(to shoot eight bears per load instead of just two three it's three-barrelled).

Two Soyuzes, two PMs.
F-850 can use two at once. At last somebody can defend the base from alien invaders.

Just took a look at the video above, and now am puzzled.

They said, Ferdor is Skybot F-850.
But at 49:44 there is a tweet where he his human familiar writes: "I am ... F-859"

Is this a true, correct Skybot The Fedor?

What did this imposter do to the real F-850, we will never know.
