More of the same old hype and simulated eye-candy.

What's the matter this time around? Did Russia also lose their 700
large boxes of mission related R&D plus science data related to all of
their previous unmanned lunar landers, as having also lost track of
all their terrestrial trial and error proof-testing, and of whatever
actual demonstrations of their fly-by-rocket technology, as well as
for much their supposed expertise of that cold-war era. Was there a
USSR/Russian book and film burning policy of that era?

You'd think these days with science instrumentation being so much more
robust, rad-hard and not drawing 1% the energy, and of the all-
inclusive inert fly-by-rocket technology not weighing half of our
original efforts, that by now we've have multiple fly-by-rocket
demonstrations with better than 99% reliability to report.

After all, as of nearly a half century ago our DARPA Saturn 5 was in
fact 100% reliable, as supposedly were each of those fly-by-rocket
landers w/o momentum reaction wheels none the less.

Wasn't that so much better off than the whiz-bang NASA of today, that
blows up spendy rockets that are behaving badly (plus causing
countless millions in local property damage), and otherwise can't
quite seem to figure out the ****-poor aerodynamics of a reentry pod,
or that of parachutes?

And where the hell is our wise old Zionist/Nazi DARPA in all of this
fiasco?
