The russians are actually pretty good at space… although a lot of that was due to koralev inventing most of what they use… soyuz has been extremely successful. So I have no doubt they can get to the moon… hopefully next time at a speed that doesn’t pancake the ship…

WolfhoundRO ,

The russian success stops at Soyuz. Ask N1 what the hell was doing until the soviets back then gave up on such a faulty project

The moon’s children have been taken for safe keeping.

frezik ,

A couple years back, Putin promised to put a Russian on the moon. A good question is “with what rocket?”

Turns out, an even better question is “with what communications system?” A factor in this crash is that they lack a round-the-world comm system. They can only communicate when the moon is visible over Russia. It’s a big country, of course, but not big enough for 24/7 communication.

A good question is “with what rocket?”

Probably Yenisei which unfortunately had its development paused.

A factor in this crash is that they lack a round-the-world comm system.

They’ve had this with GLONASS for over a decade. For far-side communications, you need a single relay satellite like what China used for Chang’e-4. However, you don’t actually need either of those for many lunar missions. When the Americans sent humans to the moon, they just used radio waves that were picked up from various ground stations across the world.

GLONASS is a GPS navigation system, not a communication system. And the problem is not communicating with places on Earth, the problem is the lack of systems capable of communicating with the Moon.

iridaniotter ,
@iridaniotter@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Okay I guess they could build ground stations outside the country if more coverage was desired.

FaceDeer ,
@FaceDeer@kbin.social avatar

Sure, but they haven't. The main reason being the lack of close allies with wide geographic distribution to locate those stations on and the lack of resources to spend on doing that kind of thing.

Good, because they would most probably use it to plant their stupid Z swastika on the moon, because nobody could stop them there.

Are you okay

Smartboystupid ,

Since you are from lemmygrad I guess I have offended you? If it wasn’t obvious already then yes I hate pro war russians and russian imperialism

iridaniotter ,
@iridaniotter@lemmygrad.ml avatar

What does that have to do with space? Is Ukraine on the moon? I’m confused

Smartboystupid ,

You are not very smart

iridaniotter ,
@iridaniotter@lemmygrad.ml avatar

You’re the one implying Ukraine is on the moon! Talk about bad geography!

vacuumflower ,

Well, there’s one thing I’d say in favor of Russian imperialism as opposed to Turkish one. Russian imperialism is in most stages not genocidal. Turkish imperialism is genocidal even at its softest.

A-and since Turkey is in NATO, maybe you should look at the stars, breathe, have some tea and think that maybe hating is in general counterproductive. Say, I don’t hate anybody.

Smartboystupid ,

What the fuck did I just read?

vacuumflower ,

You may spend some time thinking about that too. Also s/stages/phases/.

If it’s not clear, I’m personally fine with Russian imperialism - it’s questionable whether Finland or even Poland (yes, its dismemberment by Prussia, Austria and Russia was not cool, but in an alternative timeline it could be just Prussia and Austria) would be independent states today without it, Baltic countries surely wouldn’t (Germans again - all those patriotic Latvians and Estonians hating on Russia kinda forget than “a Latvian” and “an Estonian” were synonyms of “a serf” there for a few centuries, same with parts of Lithuania) and Armenia wouldn’t exist, neither as an independent state nor as a thing, and whatever Georgians may think, they’d be a rustic minority similar to Laz in Turkey in what is now Georgia.

Say, Wales and Scotland are not independent states, Brittany is not an independent state, Catalonia is not an independent state, one can go on about Occitan parts of France (when I was studying French, I also took some interest in Occitan language, it’s not the same at all), Low Saxon parts of Germany, Frisian parts of three countries etc.

I mean, whatever.

TL;DR:

My point was that the Russian empire was pretty European and much less genocidal than other European empires at that.

While your country is likely allied with Turkey, so as an Armenian I could care less of what you think, and also any alliance involving Turkey as a member deserves much more hate than any alliance involving Russia as a member (unless it involves both as members, that is). You can’t just condemn Russia and not condemn Turkey and its every ally, and not become a joke.

Smartboystupid ,

You just confirmed that you are insanely brainwashed. Like if you actually think like that you really need to get yourself checked. Because Russia is THE genocidal country of the modern world.

I hope you join putlers forces and go to ukraine, because honestly the world is better off without you in this state of mind.

vacuumflower ,

You just confirmed that you are insanely brainwashed.

Oh, wow. You really think this evaluation you just shat out has any weight? This line doesn’t work.

FFS. Some boor possibly speaking no language other than English and living possibly on a different continent calling me brainwashed.

I speak (well, stutter a bit) and read Russian and English, understand Belorussian and Ukrainian (no, these are not as close to Russian as many people think), kinda (not very good, but satisfactory) read French, German and, ahem, Armenian, and with heavy assistance from a dictionary understand texts in Dutch, continental Nordic languages and various Romance languages and obviously Slavic ones.

I also study history through documents and facts, and don’t watch TV at all, and mostly don’t use social networks, at least not to get news.

Now, what we have as you - a person who didn’t even understand the references I made.

Just so you’d know, people with some brains and knowledge who defend Turkey being in NATO do not use moral argumentation, because it fails every fucking time. They use practical argumentation along the lines of “the world being unjust”, Turkey “being a useful ally militarily”, Armenians and Kurds being unimportant or not white enough, “life is tough” and so on.

I can’t possibly be more brainwashed than you.

Because Russia is THE genocidal country of the modern world.

It’s obviously not. Not any more than Turkey or China or even Saudi Arabia. Just all other genocidal countries are useful partners.

You don’t even get the meaning of the word “genocide”. It’s not conquest - conquest means subduing a population, making it obey and work for you. Conquest with war crimes involved is not genocide. Genocide means destruction as the goal in itself, and Russia is not doing that. There are plenty of Ukrainians on Russian-occupied lands, there are no Armenians at all on Azerbaijan-occupied lands. End of story.

I hope you join putlers forces and go to ukraine,

I hope one day to join the forces of the republic of Artsakh.

You really are disgusting. A person who’ve found an indulgence in finding one conflict where his polity supports the “good guys” and behaving as if it nullifies everything else, tabula rasa.

because honestly the world is better off without you in this state of mind.

Look what’s talking.

Smartboystupid ,

I don’t even read what you say, just skimming a couple words tells me you are too far gone.

vacuumflower ,

If you don’t read, then you also shouldn’t comment and make conclusions.

Smartboystupid ,

Hey man you are trying to convince me of your stupid ideology that somehow russians are the good guys. Which is just insane.

vacuumflower ,

No, first, in my ideology Russians as the Russian state are not the good guys, while Russian society (like almost any societies) is too complex for such generalizations, second, I’m trying to convince you that real life is not some TV series with one main villain of the episode or one main villain of the season.

The initial comment was treating Russia as if the things the Russian state is doing now were not happening daily in many other parts of the planet.

Sniatch ,

Crazy that people actually think like this.

vacuumflower ,

Nothing crazy, I’m just studying things before making an opinion.

Sniatch ,

You can make it sound smart if you want but to me it just looks like you’re looking for an excuse to not feel bad about the shit russia is doing today.

vacuumflower ,

I wouldn’t anyway. See why:

“Feeling bad” is when there’s an inconsistency in your worldview needing to be resolved.

Say, you consider yourself a good person and tie being a good person to a certain ideology or movement or culture, and then that ideology or movement or culture gets an army and kills lots of people.

Well, I knew something like this war would happen since I was 12 or 13 (I was thinking of some kind of civil war, though ; if not for the Russian military being too ruined and rotten to produce coup leaders etc, this would probably be the reality).

I also knew that a person needs a moral compass and what people like you get from mass media is not a moral compass.

I’ve found moral positions, algorithms to associate only with people who won’t make me “feel bad” by doing something to others. No false positives so far.

Even from those my friends who’d casually spew baboonish pseudopatriotic bullshit not a single person made me ashamed in February 2022.

vacuumflower ,

I see no argumentation in your comment. I’ve literally wrote only obvious things in my comment, which are not point of contention usually (for those of us who are not baboons!).

The Moon, unprovoked, collided with the Russian vessel that was approaching amicably. An old, whitened but still recognizable USA flag was planted on the Moon’s surface, indicating this as a clear act of aggression from the imperialist power

grabyourmotherskeys ,

The Moon said it might join NATO so they had to hit it. They really had no choice.

ApeNo1 ,

The “Kaputnik” has landed.

I’ve played my share of Kerbel Space Program.

The lander made a planned flight to the moon, which included a high acceleration parking maneuver which resulted in unquestionable sucesss! To the Mun!

WarmSoda ,

Well, I mean… You just point at it and fire all the rockets. Even the Russians can do it!

FFbob ,

Lithobreaking maneuver.

WolfhoundRO ,

Russians losing at HOI4 only for them to also lose at Kerbal Space Program. They use quickload and quicksaves too much imo

RheingoldRiver ,

ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon

lol

Rapid unscheduled disassembly as the result of a lithobraking maneuver

vacuumflower ,

It’s part of slow and scheduled disassembly of Roskosmos as organization. 10 years ago it already seemed to be on that trajectory.
