There have been some good programs on lately. Discovery HD Theater had
an intesting documentary about Explorer 1 and the early space age the
other day. History Channel (usually overwhelmed by documentaries on
Bigfoot and UFOs) has a good series called "The Universe" which had a
good episode about spaceflight last night.

Then of course there's hour after hour of that "Mars Rising" miniseries
on the Science Channel, which neatly mixes very optimistic assessments
of life on Mars, and indeed colonization and terraforming of Mars -
which is only going to take around 800 years - with complete
misstatements regarding the technology they want to use to get there.
In that world, the Russian Energia rockets are ready to go back into
full production at the drop of a hat, and Russia has a very vigorous
manned Mars program of their own, and may well beat us there if we
aren't careful and do the smart thing...shoveling several billion
dollars at them to use their wonder technology.
I assume they had a lot of input in that series.

Too bad there's no such USSR fly-by-rocket R&D footage of anything
viable on behalf of any such failsafe downrange and soft landing,
especially as suited for such a crystal dry and electrostatic charged
environment that's double IR roasted and fully gamma/X-ray saturated
to boot.

At best, we're talking about robotic controlled hard landings of the
semi-impact kind, that which technology of that cold-war era was
capable of achieving.

Now there's a DVD I would buy...

NOVA program on the Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) program. Introduction
tonight looks good:

As they say, check your local listings.

And them brown-nosed clown lies upon lies continue via Google/NOVA,
even of those contributed from the USSR/Russian aspects, as our faith-
based cold war partner in crimes against humanity simply can't muster
up to the whole truth and nothing but the truth without breaking wind
through their mostly Semitic infomercial spewing butt-cracks.

The MOL (Manned Orbiting Laboratory) is about as good as LEO human
stuff ever gets, whereas those actual moon landings are simply not
within the cards of anything Russian or via NASA. Forbid placing any
MOL within the moon's L1, as those pesky gamma and X-ray saturations
from our moon are collectively worse off than having to survive most
of those halo CMEs.

Too bad they still can't even show us any of those USSR R&D trials of
such purely fly-by-rocket landing demos, because they too somehow
managed to lose track of all of such Third Reich as-built
documentation. Isn't it interesting how the most spendy and utmost
prestigious of their step by step physics and scientific
accomplishments are forever lost.

All we get to see is the same old public infomercial crapolla that
doesn't actually prove squat or otherwise support that our fly-by-
rocket wizards along with all of their supposed right stuff ever set a
moonsuit boot worth of human DNA upon that physically dark moon of
ours.

Of one-way hard landings or of soft-impacts is all that can be peer
substantiated thus far, and not that dozens of applications for such
AI robotic fly-by-rocket expertise couldn't have been put to good use
ever since. Even of human remote pilot commanded soft landings should
have become the status quo as of decades ago, and yet we still can't
accomplish a reliably controlled downrange and soft landing demo right
here on Earth, as with an easily configured 1/6th mass R&D prototype
as outfitted with those essential momentum reaction wheels and one
heck of a compact supercomputer that would need to be made as rad-hard
and thermal-extreme-tolerant for those actual moon landings.

Such infowar birds of a feather do flock together, and especially
nifty if Hitler were alive today, as he'd be so proud as punch of what
his Semitic minions had accomplished.

Real funny. That's pretty much exactly what I'd expect from anyone of
them, because you obviously are one of them. You folks obviously
can't share anything of the whole truth about those Soviet Lunokhod
Moon rovers because, that would only hurt your own kind.

Besides spendy war-games for fun and profit, what part(s) of our
mutually perpetrated cold-war(s) was of any real contest that needed
to be accomplished?

You mean dittos on "American" infowar crapolla? Is that "dittos" self
taught or was it Third Reich boot camp learned. Obviously you haven't
one foot of documentation film that'll show us any such tested R&D
prototype lander in action.
