Default 5 Soviet Space Programs That Prove Russia Was Insane

"The thing about the Iron Curtain is that we'll never
fully know what crazy **** went on behind it during
the Cold War. And that's too bad, because the little
hints that leak out really make it look like these people
just did not give a ****.

Take the Soviet space program. We know they were
the first to get both a satellite and a human in orbit,
which were both pretty admirable accomplishments.
What they kept hidden from the world was that
maintaining even minimal levels of safety was a
completely foreign concept to them. And that the
cosmonauts who flew their rickety ass spaceships
must have had balls made of elephant tusks.

Here are five spectacularly audacious Soviet space
programs that prove that in Soviet Russia, space goes
into you."

All your insane ramblings can't hide the fact that the
russians were there first, 50 years ago, and that today it was aboard
a russian vessel, nicknamed Gagarin-50 that the U.S. cosmonauts
left for the international space station.

well russia still has a manned spaceflight capacity, thats ending very
soon for the US.

Rssia even had he common sense t realize buran wasnt a good idea.

but on buran it flew completely unmanned on its trial flight. the
shuttles first flight flew manned, and was nearly destroyed by sonic
vibrations

The disinformation masters that are attempting to shape the
conversation about space travel and its potential want to blunt the
achievements of the Soviets on the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's
flight to orbit and blind us to the tremendous potential space faring
capabilities have to transform the human race.

Why?

Because they're control freaks and they can't control this.

The fact is that space travel develops as we invest in reducing cost
of momentum. As we do so we develop along a well defined capability
curve;

(1) small suborbital payloads
(2) medium orbiting payloads
(3) large cislunr payloads
(4) very large interplanetary payloads

Within a 40 year period. From 1950 to 1990.

Since any activity in space translates to a universal capability
relative to the Earth's surface, Earth's inhabitants see these
capabilities as changes in the global paradigm.

This includes;

1950s - ICBMS, nuclear thermonuclear war, Mutual Assured Destruction
- world peace.

1960s - Comsat, spysats, weathersats, global telecomunications,
internet, world business.

1970s - Apollo, pictures of earth from the vicinity of the moon, the
environmental movement, the gaia hypothesis.

***AAAK!***

1980s - we pulled the plug on the space program by this time and
abandoned all activity in space - but if we had continued apace;

***TA DA***

1980s - Orion, nuclear pulse propulsion, industrial development of the
solar system, diaspora - the human race leaves Earth forever.

Okay, so I was going to buy Sunoco and use the coal reserves of a
second tier coal company to provide the carbon for solar derived
liquid petroleum products - and when I introduced the $1.50 per gallon
gasoline I would use "Here Comes the Sun" as the theme song of the
marketing campaign.

lol.

ass killed.

If the order went through without a hitch in 2005 following my talk
with Bush at the WH in 2004

http://www.scribd.com/doc/24911642/R...P-EOP-Dec-2004

I would have bought Lockheed and Boeing reorganized them to improve
their profitability, and retain the space faring assets plus cash.

Then, used that cash to build a heavy lift highly reusable launcher
along with lowering the cost of space hardware from $15,000,000 per
ton to $2,000,000 per ton.

And create an even lower cost, solar orbiting, power satellite that
beamed energy to space propulsion systems after putting up a global
telecom network

You know something's wrong and something needs to be done.

Space travel is the call to adventure!

That's what space travel does for us.

Hide my love away
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz7IjXu0DfQ

We're in trouble and the night has come

and

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me

So, you've given up?

Going YouTube postal isn't going to help. Are you planning on a
career with Google NOVA? (replacing or rather picking up where Carl
Sagan left off?)

Seems my interpretation of what has been going wrong isn't all that
different than your fancy YouTube versions. But then you've decided
that our government of that spectacular NASA/Apollo and spendy cold-
war era has always been trustworthy and open about everything, and
that faith-based Semite goons, mafia and those Rothschilds were not in
charge of anything because it only makes you look bad or dysfunctional
if suggesting we've been systematically snookered and dumbfounded by
those of our own kind.

Isn't two or more individuals working against the greater good, still
considered a conspiracy, worthy of at least treason if not high
treason?

Buran test flight was unmanned and flew successfully. A capability the

Exactly correct, but our Fred of Sandia NL is a paid rusemaster, so he
has instructions that can't be ignored without lethal consequences.

Except for the "nearly destroyed". It took more damage than expected,
and Young has said, I believe, that he'd have aborted had he known how
much, but that's a far cry from being "nearly destroyed".

It was already there (in fact, it was the same one used by Saturn V,
but modified along with the rest of the MLP), they just tweaked it
around the SRBs.

Because it didn't need it. There were never plans to fly the Shuttle
unmanned. Why pay money for a feature you won't use?

No, the USSR collapsed and Russia couldn't afford any space program
without U.S. help (the Shuttle-Mir program kept it alive in the early
and mid 1990s.)

The shuttle should of been built to fly unmanned if for no other
reason than the ability to have the first flight unmanned for saftety.

Besides it would of been a more versatile vehicle. and wouldnt of cost
nmuch more.
