I wonder how long till they kill a crew?

If theres no soyuz display at KSC this over pressured one would be a
good choice.......

Actually their astronaut kills are relatively low compared to ours.
Not that any kind of fly-by-rocket travel is ever going to be 100%
failsafe.

well when any space program has as many problems as russia does, it
leads to a systemic problem.

anyone can have say a valve failure. but russias problems are all over
the lot........

At least our NASA doesn't even bother to tell us the whole truth and
nothing but the truth from the very get go, so apparently that's even
better.

BTW; only Russians put fully robotic fly-by-rocket landers safely onto
the moon that could navigate about and supposedly even return samples
from the moon, and it seems we still can't do that, as well as their
being the only ones having gotten their probes safely onto the surface
of Venus.

Considering they don't spend 10% of what we have to spend, they seem
to have accomplished quite a bit that's mostly science instead of
worthless media eyecandy and hype.

yeah BUT current russia space operations are in shambles, if you use
success as a indicator.

today its just one failure after another........

just look at phobos grunt.......

I agree, that the Russian space exploration and even their ISS support
is kind of in the space toilet. *They'll need to take it up a couple
notches in order to stay at least even.

However, many of their LEO and GSO stuff is coming right along,
whereas our NASA is looking for new ways of just paying their electric
utility bill so that their lights can stay on.

phobos grunt.

russias space program is in disarray. likely cause will be poor

So when is India going to pick up the slack?- Hide quoted text -
