Russia risks dropping out of the superpower space race

124

While the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, curses joyfully from the realization that something else is flying in his economy, China is preparing to share the Moon, Mars and the resources of the asteroid belt with the United States. How did it happen that the PRC has become a great space power, whose achievements cannot but cause a feeling of jealousy in Russians?

A certain irritation from the Chinese successes is caused by the fact that Beijing has learned everything from us. Cooperation with the USSR in the field of rocketry began back in 1956, but in the 60s it was curtailed for political reasons. In 1970, the Long March-1 launch vehicle launched the first Chinese satellite into orbit. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the PRC began an in-depth study and borrowing of our developments on the basis of intergovernmental agreements of 1992 and 1996. Chinese cosmonauts trained in Russia, and their first manned spacecraft, Shenzhou (Shenzhou), painfully resembled the Soyuz. The result was in 2003 the flight into space of the "Chinese Gagarin" Yan Liwei.



It is quite significant that Beijing did not take part in the ISS project, unlike Moscow. Instead, the PRC continued to copy the Soviet Technologyby launching their own orbital stations Tiangong (Tiangong) and Tiangong-2, suspiciously reminiscent of our Salyut and Almaz. So the Celestial Empire became one of the three countries capable of independently launching spacecraft intended for long-term stay of astronauts in orbit. It is quite indicative that the Russian leadership at the same time preferred to get rid of its Mir station, although this decision to this day causes an ambiguous attitude towards itself.

The next step of the PRC was its own lunar program. The Chinese repeated the experience of the USSR, sending several devices to the surface of the satellite, successfully taking and delivering samples of lunar soil to Earth, but were able to go further. The Chang'e-4 mission continues on the far side of the Moon, which no other country, not even the United States, has yet been able to do. Beijing does not hide the fact that the study of the soil is necessary for the future construction of a permanent lunar base, which means a manned flight, which for certain reasons could not be carried out by the Soviet Union at one time.

The development of an earth satellite will take place in several stages, and it should become an intermediate link on the way to Mars and the tempting resources of the asteroid belt. To accomplish such ambitious tasks, China will need its own super-heavy rocket, work on which is already underway. It is called "Changzheng-9" (CZ-9, "Long March-9") and will be able to launch into low-earth orbit up to 140 tons, up to 50 tons on a departure trajectory to the Moon and up to 44 tons - to Mars. The creation of such a giant is a very difficult technological task.

The fact is that the dimensions of the upper stage diameter are limited by the railway dimensions, since the missiles must be transported somehow from the place of production to the launch pad. By the way, dependence on logistics is also a problem for our country. The Chinese approached the solution of the problem radically, abandoning rail transport in favor of sea transport. From the mainland of the country, the cosmodrome was moved to the island of Hainan. But the achievements of the Chinese are not limited to this. They were able to rethink the experience of Soviet engineers and create their own kerosene-oxygen rocket engines with a thrust of over 500 tons and 150-ton solid-fuel boosters. For "Changzheng-9" new hydrogen engines with a thrust of 200 tons are being developed, which were tentatively named YF-220.

There is every reason to believe that China's super-heavy rocket will fly by 2030, damn it. It will allow in one fell swoop to solve all the tasks of delivering a manned lunar mission. Our Angara-A5, like Changzheng-5, is theoretically capable of this only by coordinating several launches, which is very expensive, time-consuming and difficult. Beijing also has another option with the simultaneous use of two missiles at once, one of which will deliver the crew to the lunar orbit, the second - the landing module. By the way, "Chang'e-5" suspiciously reminded specialists of the lunar lander.

But nothing will end there. The Chinese research station Tianwen 1 is already on its way to Mars. In a few months, it should deliver to the Red Planet an analogue of the American rover Opportunity, which will study the atmosphere, soil and magnetic field, as well as an orbital probe, which will transmit data on the state of the Mars space to Beijing. It will be unpleasant to remember that the Russian probe Phobos-Grunt, which was supposed to deliver the Chinese microsatellite Inkho-1 to Mars, in 2011 could not fly away from the Earth and burned up in the dense layers of the atmosphere.

Let's be realistic: the Moon, Mars, asteroids and deep space will be divided between only two technological superpowers - the United States and China, which almost completely parasitizes on our developments. If in the next few years nothing changes for the better in Russia, Russian cosmonautics will only continue to regress under the "curse". And, perhaps, it is worth considering why such a thing became possible at all.

    From what Rogozin "swears" is your idle speculation.
    I personally do not feel any jealousy of the Chinese and I suppose I am not alone in this. What are you trying to say, whoever does not envy the Chinese is not a Russian? Why do you have so much audacity to decide for everyone? How far away you are from the people.

    It is quite significant that Beijing did not take part in the ISS project, unlike Moscow.

    How significant Yes If one of the "partners", by the way, mainly financing the station, is against China's entry into the project, then it is somewhat difficult for Beijing to participate. laughing

    In the 90s of the last century, the United States blocked China's participation in the ISS project.

    It is quite indicative that the Russian leadership at the same time preferred to get rid of its Mir station, although this decision to this day causes an ambiguous attitude towards itself.

    What does ambiguous mean? The station's resource was coming to an end, there was no money for its maintenance.

    In general, judging by the text, the Chinese will do something fellow , the Chinese will do it fellow

    Let's be realistic: the Moon, Mars, asteroids and deep space will be divided between only two technological superpowers - the United States and China, which almost completely parasitizes on our developments.

    Let's be realistic, no one will share anything in space.
    If something does not change for the better in Russian journalism, it will simply die out. Maybe you should think about how you got to this kind of analysts?

      It is foolish to argue with the fact that Russian space has lagged behind the US and is beginning to lag behind the Chinese. And the point here is not only in the chronic underfunding and the scientific hole of the 90s, which reached us after 20 years. Considering how many scandals there have been in the ranks of Roskosmos over the past 10 years, the managerial level in the state corporation also raises questions.

        And the article discusses the development of astronautics? There space is divided, which is typical without us laughing As for the "pit", no one denies the negative impact of the 90s, but isn't the industry recovering? Yes, slowly, with a creak, with a swing, but there is movement forward. The management of the state corporation is not my friends or relatives, and I do not feel much sympathy for them, but ... the same Rogozin has not been there for 10 years, but only 2. The hangara still flew with him. And the shading to it basically ... "either cursed" wrong, then joked with a trampoline, somewhere at this level.

          but isn't the industry recovering?

          Not restored. We continue to fly ships that are 60 years old (oh yes, they are modernized ...), with rockets of about the same age. We have been making "Eagle" (aka "Federation") for more than 10 years, and it is not even in the hardware yet. We are proud of "Angara", although technologically this is the last century. Launched the second medium in 6 years. Pride takes! This rocket could have been bragged 20 years ago, but not today. For 15 years, Musk has created a technologically breakthrough company, developed new launch vehicles with reversible stages, designed a modern spacecraft, designs another one for flights to Mars, and began implementing a satellite Internet project. For 15 years we have done absolutely nothing. This is an objective reality. The question was about technological development, and here, whatever one may say, we are lagging behind. Moreover, if we take Russian space as a whole and compare it in general with the American space, then we are lagging behind very much. Indeed, in addition to SpaceX, the United States also has Blue Origin, Virgin Orbit and Rocket Lab, which are developing a number of promising technologies. We have nothing like this and not close. And this is not the case when analogs can be made in a year or two. Space is years and decades. It is very difficult, time consuming and expensive.

            Here side by side on the website of the TTX Vanguard was published. And on the other side of the Atlantic, Minutemans from the 70s are in the mines. And no replacement is expected, under the contract they promise to create it in 2030. If we take everything as a whole, then forgive them, as to Beijing "sideways". For that matter, the Vanguard is more important in the mine than it is in orbit. Let the Americans, instead of Tesla, even launch Caterpillars into space, and on every Chinese windowsill, seedlings grow near the lunar soil.
            Speaking of promising projects ... does the abandoned project at (6:30) remind you of anything?



            So these "leaders" did not master the project and abandoned it 15 years ago, but ours are doing it on the sly. And these are not the cases when analogs can be made in a year or two.
            Our priority is the military direction, and this is probably correct. As for the civilian complex, of course there is a lag, but it is not so critical. But in our country, 1991 was the year with all the consequences, and what happened to them? The lunar program "beauty and pride" of cosmonautics has been procrastinating for 15 years and there is no end in sight of the work.
            As for all SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Orbit and Rocket Lab, take it, who is against? Whose claim is this? Is it addressed to our "bourgeois" or do you want the state to reform the industry and produce private traders?

              And next to it, KAMAZ is testing a new engine. And they also opened a poultry farm near Rostov ... Oh, and we talked about space, right?

              For that matter, the Vanguard is more important in the mine than it is in orbit.

              Exactly. And more important than medicine, education, infrastructure development ... The main thing is that Avangard is in the mine. You know, when a person runs out of arguments on a topic, he begins to weave absolutely third-party things, they say, it will be counted.

              Speaking of promising projects ... does the abandoned project at (6:30) remind you of anything?

              Did we have something flying on an ion engine? Did I miss something?

              So these "leaders" did not master the project and abandoned 15 years ago

              Suddenly: https://www.popmech.ru/technologies/news-392212-nasa-ispytalo-rekordnyy-ionnyy-dvigatel/

              And you can find a bunch of news from the USA on this topic yourself.

              As for all SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Orbit and Rocket Lab, take it, who is against?

              And we have Roskosmos, which will not tolerate competition. Along the way, you do not quite understand what a state corporation is in Russia. Nobody wants to share the budget. And for whom to create all this? There is no market. Nobody needs it with us.

                Roscosmos has nothing to do with the noble cause of incubating chickens, but it is the most direct thing to military missiles and military space in general, however, like most of the American companies you listed. I'm not food for you about hyperloops. After all, we also talked about the technological lag. Russia has focused on the military direction because the financial capabilities are not comparable. The Americans are ahead in the civilian sector, while in the military sphere everything is not so smooth for them.

                Exactly. And more important than medicine, education, infrastructure development ... The main thing is that Avangard is in the mine. You know, when a person runs out of arguments on a topic, he begins to weave absolutely third-party things, they say, it will be counted.

                Just don't knock out a tear with pacifism and start a conversation about distributing money to pregnant pensioners, you won't like it laughing
                What is the vaunted American medicine, sharpened to make money and not to provide medical care to the bulk of the population, is clearly traced in the statistics of deaths from coronavirus. Is it more important for them to fly to the moon than to make a vaccine?
                You know, American schools are also not a standard, but they pay educational loans before retirement. Here is the title of the publication of the country "a space power like the United States", at least according to its president laughing

                The legendary American roads are already a myth, or How the infrastructure in the United States is declining. https://vk.cc/bWnf69

                Such information can be typed in a wagon and a small cart. Maybe they should cut the military budget a little?
                And we need the "Vanguards" otherwise instead of schools, hospitals, there will be craters on the roads, don't believe me, ask the Libyans, Afghans, Iraqis, Syrians.

                Did we have something flying on an ion engine? Did I miss something?

                And I wrote that it flew? belay In my opinion, I wrote engaged. So they do not walk on the moon, the example you cited with the Martian ship and so on is also not observed live request which does not prevent you from extolling out of merit.

                Suddenly:

                Not impressive No. Is this engine already flying? Do you like the implemented projects or am I wrong?

                There are a lot of similar "suddenly" and "voila" in the open spaces of the boarding school. Here's a tugboat news from two years ago. In my opinion, the news is no worse than about the testing of the American ion engine.

                In 2018, the first tests of the nuclear editor have already passed for its subsequent use for these purposes.

                https://w-elma.com/company/articles/buksir-v-nevesomost/

                And we have Roskosmos, which will not tolerate competition. Along the way, you do not quite understand what a state corporation is in Russia. Nobody wants to share the budget. And for whom to create all this? There is no market. Nobody needs it with us.

                How is it? Should you share your budget with them? But what about the disinterested desire for space exploration? Do we know the financial possibilities for a more modest one, so that they can also be distributed to these parasites. How effectively they are used can be seen on the example of countries with comparable GDP, for example Germany, which for 75 years, under the strict leadership, for some reason has not turned into an advanced space power.
                By the way, is it necessary to create a space services market for private traders? I'm afraid such ideas will not be popular with the overwhelming majority of our population.

                  Here I agree with you. Tooting. But I will add that our article is about peaceful space, and the conversation was about it. The Americans also have space defense projects, and they are also not weak. What only X-37 is doing there is unknown. But once again - we are not talking about this.

                  Yes. But you also wrote that the West has abandoned such projects. Wrote without checking. Lied, in short. And now the silence has been caught.

                  for example, Germany, which for 75 years, under the strict leadership, for some reason has not turned into an advanced space power.

                  In Germany, such goals have never been set.

                  How is it? Should you share the budget with them? But what about the disinterested desire for space exploration?

                  Private space in the United States, among other things, makes money on government contracts. Those. once invested, created something, and now they make money on it. Everything is fair and legal. And we have a state monopolist.

                    Quite right, about peaceful space, however, the line is so thin ... But we also talked about the technological lag. Forgive me, but to call an organization ahead of competitors in the military sphere, just because it is inferior in the civil sphere, is somewhat incorrect. In this case, we can speak either about insufficient funding, or about the fact that less attention is paid to this area, the priority is lower.

                    This information is announced in the attached video. And yet, yes, I have not tested it. That the information is not correct and in the bowels of the American corporation the project is nearing completion? Share information, it will be interesting to listen good

        In 2017, funding for the federal space program was cut by Medvedev 2 times.
        The budget of Roscosmos is $ 3 billion.
        In 2017, NASA expenditures amounted to $ 18,1 billion. Total US budget expenditures amounted to $ 47,5 billion. That is 13 times more than Russia’s expenses.
        EKA European Space Agency has a budget of $ 11.6 billion, 4 times the budget of Roscosmos.
        Statistics for 2019
        In 2019, EKA completed 9 starts, including 1 emergency.
        Roscosmos -25 (all trouble-free).
        The United States has 21.
        China - 34 (2 emergency).
        Such is the efficiency in comparison.
        Today, the period without emergency launches of Roscosmos is 2 years and 2 months. Total - 52. This is a record for the entire post-Soviet period.

          Do not distort

          What's the jitter?)

          S. Marzhetsky generalized the jealousy of the Chinese to all Russians, you generalized the dislike of von Braun and other German scientists and engineers to all the inhabitants of London, as well as to the people who caught Gagarin's flight :)

          and those who caught, there is a specific attitude towards “former SS men” like Werner von Braun. Emotions for such personalities are accepted by them express with a bayonet or butt. I'm even afraid to imagine how happy the successes of the former "NSDAP member" were Londoners... They were not familiar with his products by hearsay.

          In both cases, unreasonable generalization and ascribing to strangers their own emotions.

          I recommend refreshing your memory, as recently as yesterday someone attributed Russian immense admiration for American successes and, incidentally, the unforgettable von Braun too.

          Let's refresh your memory, I agree :) I quote myself:

          Those who rejoice at every SpaceX launch are just as rejoicing and rejoicing at the launch of Gagarin on a modified military rocket, the main task of which (the basic version) is to erase cities into dust. Likewise, they rejoiced and rejoiced in the launches of American astronauts to the moon on a rocket designed by former SS and NSDAP member Wernher von Braun.

          In my quote, the word "Russian" is never used :) And just ascribing to me what I did not say - this is:

          a person's lies do not paint

          We go further:

          Yes, at least on this

          On what "on this"? In Peskov's words that "from a legal point of view, such attempts to privatize space are unacceptable"?

          You yourself, on every corner, say that Americans easily violate all legal norms when it suits them :)

          If it comes to a carve-up, then it will take place here on Earth and arguments like Vanguard and Zircon in such disputes are much more valuable than cars dangling in space.

          Your Vanguards (which one or two have been used up) and Zircons (which are not yet in service at all) do not matter in the matter of the division of space resources, as long as you do not have what to extract and transport these resources.

          And yes, in addition to "cars dangling in space", the United States (and China, too, if anything) has something to answer to "Vanguards" and "Zircons".

            It's elementary, even now you are talking about the Chinese, the British and the Germans, and you quote me in confirmation. But there is a little petty, unpleasant detail ... the quote is not complete ... If you reread this sentence here in an unabridged form ...

            and those who did find it had a specific attitude to "former SS men" like Wernher von Braun. It is customary for them to express emotions towards such persons with a bayonet or a butt.

            It talks about the Russian people who caught Gagarin, that is, people who went through the war. so twice yes. Yes, the attitude of the Russian people towards such personalities was specific, exactly as I described, and they were not delighted with von Braun's success. And secondly, yes, you still juggle and juggle negative

            In my quote, the word "Russian" is never used :) And just ascribing to me what I did not say - this is:

            ABOUT!!! You meant someone else ... However, do not drag the discussion here on another article, do not litter comments. There is a shading on this issue, squeak under the "primary source".

            On what "on this"? In Peskov's words that "from a legal point of view, such attempts to privatize space are unacceptable"?
            You yourself, on every corner, say that Americans easily violate all legal norms when it suits them :)

            What does "verb at every corner" mean belay Do you want to say that it is not so?
            That is why the Vanguards are needed.

            Yours The vanguards (of which one or two have been missed) and Zircons (which are not yet in service at all) do not matter in the matter of the division of space resources, as long as you do not have what to extract and transport these resources with.

            Oh how !!! Your very similar to the words of the American lackey. wink An ordinary person would write ours. Piercing? After such a "resident's mistake," it becomes clear who you meant when you spoke of enthusiasm for von Braun's successes.winked Somehow you are not careful, now you can't cut it out with an ax request And what do you think matters in this case? The ability to send an automatic device to an asteroid, stick a flag and declare it yours? Remember how you worried about our flag at the bottom near the North Pole?
            In general, all disagreements will be resolved here on Earth, unless, of course, they plan to dump from this planet laughing
            No matter how vanguards there are, they are all ours, and Zircons fly and every day there are more and more of them. Your we can only dream about it and bite our elbows. This is a gift for you, look before going to bed, nibble your elbow to calm down smile



            And yes, in addition to "cars dangling in space", the United States (and China, too, if anything) has something to answer to "Vanguards" and "Zircons".

            As long as there is, only every day it is getting smaller, you know it is getting old and the technological gap is increasing. And we'll come to an agreement with the Chinese. That they are going to something in space, in my opinion, only you and Marzhetsky think hi

              It's elementary, even now you are talking about the Chinese, the British and the Germans, and you quote me in confirmation.

              Amendment - Mr. Marzhetsky is talking about the Chinese, and you are talking about the British and Germans :)

              In my quote I have never mentioned either the Russians or any other nation. If you had read my comments carefully, you would have seen what I said about "those who enjoy SpaceX launches." I singled out a category not according to nationality, but according to the interest of these people in astronautics and the progress of mankind in this direction.

              the quote is not complete ...

              Do you even really know how to read?) I gave your quote even in a fuller form than you yourself :) Here it is:

              Those who rejoice in "every SpaceX launch" did not find Gagarin alive, and those who did, have a specific attitude towards "former SS men" like Wernher von Braun. It is customary for them to express emotions towards such persons with a bayonet or a butt. I’m even afraid to imagine how the residents of London were happy with the successes of the former "NSDAP member". They were not familiar with his products by hearsay.

              Not a word about Russians in this quote of yours :)

              Yes, the attitude of the Russian people towards such personalities was specific, exactly as I described, and they were not delighted with von Braun's success.

              Have you interviewed all the millions of Soviet / Russian people to assert this?)

              And I have already given you in another thread specific examples of how the USSR awarded the highest state awards to German scientists who, before they were taken to the USSR, worked on Hitler's atomic and rocket projects. Among these scientists there were even those who were members of the NSDAP - moreover, of their own free will.

              As a result, all your naive generalizations are broken on hard facts.

              ABOUT!!! You meant someone else ...

              I meant those whom I called in plain text - I do not have your habit of writing one thing and thinking another. More precisely, your habit first to write, and then try to dodge, inventing some implicit interpretations of your own words :)

              "There is a shade on this issue, squeak under the" primary source "."

              So it has long been placed under the "primary source" :) You either have not seen, or do not want to see - as always :)

              What does "verb at every corner" mean

              That means :)

              Do you want to say that it is not so?

              Maybe so - but this does not negate the fact that you speak about it at every corner :) Although all countries do this, without exception :)

              Oh how !!! YOUR is very similar to the words of the American lackey. wink An ordinary person would write our

              "Yours" - because it is you who are waving these "Vanguards" and "Zircons", although this is generally a different area :)

              And what do you think matters in this case? The ability to send an automatic device to an asteroid, stick a flag and declare it yours?

              The ability to have the technical means for mastering these very asteroids and other celestial bodies. The Americans and Chinese are working in this direction and have achieved much more success than Russia.

              This is a gift for you, look before going to bed, nibble your elbow to calm down

              Unlike you, I am indifferent to "Vanguards" and "Zircons". And you plug up the gaps in your "argumentation" with them wherever possible :) You were correctly pointed out above :)

              As long as there is, only every day it is getting smaller, you know it is getting old and the technological gap is increasing.

              This "less and less" and "technological lag" is more than enough to turn Russia into ashes. However, like the Russian nuclear weapons, it will be enough to do the same with the United States.

              And we'll come to an agreement with the Chinese.

              Only parties equal in capabilities are negotiated. The unequal either subdue or obey.

                S. Marzhetsky generalized jealousy for the Chinese in all Russians, you generalized the dislike for von Braun and others German scientists and engineers at all Londoners, as well as people who caught Gagarin's flight :)

                "Yours" - because it is you who are waving these "Vanguards" and "Zircons", although this is generally a different area :)

                Well, in general, you do not wave, but wave, but this is so ... Something I am skeptical about such an explanation, not convincing No.

                The ability to have the technical means for mastering these very asteroids and other celestial bodies. The Americans and Chinese are working in this direction and have achieved much more success than Russia.

                Well, and the flag in their hands. Will they leave garrisons on every asteroid?
                In addition, there is a likelihood of deterioration in US-China relations. Perhaps they will not be up to the division of asteroids. Look at your leisure, the information is interesting.



                Unlike you, I am indifferent to "Vanguards" and "Zircons". And you plug up the gaps in your "argumentation" with them wherever possible :) You were correctly pointed out above :)

                But do not breathe evenly to the products of one overseas company. I don’t know what you see as "stopping", in this case the Vanguards are quite appropriate, it was a question of a technological lag, a corporation that makes such products can hardly be called backward.
                If anything, read my later comments, there is everything about it.

                This "less and less" and "technological lag" is more than enough to turn Russia into ashes. However, like the Russian nuclear weapons, it will be enough to do the same with the United States.

                This is the meaning of nuclear deterrence.

                  I conveyed YOUR words and the words of Mr. Marzhetsky :) Will you repeat it for the third time?) Or will it come to you?)

                  Well, actually, you don't wave, you wave, but that's it ...

                  It's not for you to point me to grammar, given how you wrote the adverb "firsthand" :)

                  Moreover, the word "waving" is quite acceptable from the point of view of the modern Russian language, although it is considered more colloquial. Educate yourself:

                  https://www.ekburg.ru/news/18/45598-kak-pravilno-mashet-ili-makhaet/

                  But the expression "not by hearsay" does not exist in nature - only in your parallel reality :)

                  Well, and the flag in their hands. Will they leave garrisons on every asteroid?

                  How they (the Americans and the Chinese) will defend their space possessions - the future will show.

                  In addition, there is a likelihood of deterioration in US-China relations. Perhaps they will not be up to the division of asteroids. Look at your leisure, the information is interesting.

                  This has nothing to do with the issue under consideration. Even if they are at enmity, the process of "dividing" space resources will still take place (provided that they begin to develop them). How they will divide them - by military or diplomatic means - is the tenth thing.

                  But do not breathe evenly to the products of one overseas company.

                  Of course, because I love space technology more than military, and the space technology of "one American company" is now objectively the most advanced in the world.

                  it was about technological lag, a corporation making such products can hardly be called backward.

                  It was about the lag in space exploration technologies, to which these strategic missiles have nothing to do.

                  This is the meaning of nuclear deterrence.

                  I know. But this has nothing to do with the topic considered in the article.

                  This is Khivi's groveling psychology.

                  This is the psychology of a person who lives in the real world, not in the world of pink ponies.

                  Do as you say or fight. Russia will not obey anyone

                  She already obeyed and more than once. Where is the guarantee that this will never happen again?

              And here is another quote about how adequate people in the USSR met Neil Armstrong, the first person to visit the moon:

              Almost a year after his flight to the moon, in May-June 1970, Neil Armstrong visited the USSR. On May 24, he arrived in Leningrad, where, as part of a delegation of thirty-two senior NASA executives and scientists, he took part in the XIII annual conference of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) under the International Council for Science, which was held May 20-29. Conference participants greeted Armstrong with thunderous applause, who made a big report on the first landing of people on the moon and his impressions of staying and working on the lunar surface. During the days of the forum, the guards experienced great difficulties, restraining those wishing to express their admiration to Armstrong.

              And these are the same people who lived at a time when the situation between the USSR and the USA was much more tense than it is now. And the answer is simple - these people were adequate, and did not see in all people "on the other side" enemies who only think how to destroy the unfortunate Russian woman.

                This is almost a standard formulation for spraying a less significant event. This is how Moscow welcomed Gagarin. Is there something similar about meeting Armstrong?

                  This is how Moscow welcomed Gagarin. Is there something similar about meeting Armstrong?

                  There is a simple answer to this:

                  At the same time, the general public knew almost nothing about the astronaut's visit. During the five days of Armstrong's stay in Leningrad, only one local newspaper wrote about him. It was only during the visit that the Soviet side made a decision to extend it [18].

                  It's difficult to express your respect to a person when you don't even know that he is in your city, isn't it?

                  Well, in his native American cities, Armstrong was welcomed no worse than Gagarin in Moscow:

                  On August 13, Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins, accompanied by their families and NASA Director Thomas Payne, made a blitz tour from Houston to three US cities on the presidential plane from Houston: New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. The 3-hour celebrations in New York were attended by a total of 4 million people... Astronauts welcomed in Chicago 3,5 million peopleк

                    This is a pretty bright indicator. Yes The attitude towards the success of the Americans at that time is quite indicative. Just don't say that every Soviet person was ready to kiss von Braun, but they did not have the opportunity laughing

                      The attitude towards the success of the Americans at that time is quite indicative.

                      Yeah, a rather indicative attitude of the POWER to the success of the Americans.

                      Don't tell me that every Soviet person was ready to kiss von Braun.

But to rejoice for the success of the Americans and pay tribute to the undoubted design talent of Wernher von Braun - there would be, I am sure, a lot of such people in the USSR.

                      but they didn't have the opportunity

                      Actually, it was not there - the Apollo 11 team and Wernher von Braun did not come to the USSR. There was only Armstrong.

                        I do not see any sycophancy in recognizing von Braun's design talent. Even during the Great Patriotic War, Soviet designers recognized the talents of the Germans.

                        They were used pragmatically, they worked for us and not for the enemy.

                        First of all, you literally comment back pathetically argued that the former Nazi scientists should immediately be taken to the wall :) I dare say that the murdered scientist also does not work for the enemy.

                        Now that you have been poked into reality with a pug, your traditional spinning of the snake in a pan about "pragmatic use" begins.

                        Pragmatic use does not imply state awards :) And even more so no one put them up against the wall :)

                        Did they have the same beliefs as you?

                        What does it have to do with their and my beliefs? You say that all the citizens of the USSR who rejoiced at the achievements of the Americans (and von Braun) and gave them their due, "waved a pick" and were traitors. I gave you at least 2 specific names. And he also quoted a quote that during Armstrong's visit to Moscow the security could not cope with the flow of people who wanted to show their respect Armstrong.

                        Why? It is not up to you to decide how to evaluate other people's work. Maybe they were encouraged to work more productively. How pragmatic do you think? How is it in a concentration camp? Exhaustion work?

                        What does it have to do with their and my beliefs? You say that all the citizens of the USSR who rejoiced at the achievements of the Americans (and von Braun) and gave them their due, "waved a pick" and were traitors.

                        Don't juggle, I said that people with similar beliefs waved a pick. Moreover, they "gave their due" to this already something new.

                        Of course you don’t, you’re used to it.

                        Nope, there is simply no sycophancy in this. It is only in your head.

                        What do you mean ex? Former scientists or ex-Nazis?)

                        Initially, it was about German scientists who worked for the Nazis (some of these scientists themselves were in the NSDAP). What you began to mean, once again trying to dodge, I do not know.

                        especially since it was not about all scientists, but about (I quote you)

                        So among the German scientists exported to the USSR, there were also former members of the NSDAP :) Or if the Soviets took them out, this automatically made them white and fluffy, and if the Americans, then they remained Nazi scientists?)

                        Another juggling and twitching?

                        Yes, you do not stop doing this, I have already lost count :)

                        First of all, you haven’t yet grown up the "stick".

                        And nevertheless, it is quite enough for you to continue your rotation in the pan :)

                        Secondly, what facts are we talking about?

                        About the facts that in the country that suffered the most from the Nazis, former Nazi scientists were awarded state awards :) And they did not put them against the wall or hung a noose around their neck, which you are talking about pathetically :)

                        It is not up to you to decide how to evaluate other people's work.

                        And to whom? You?) You are doing this too :) Only the estimates are different.

                        Maybe they were encouraged to work more productively.

                        They were awarded after the implementation of the Soviet atomic project and were released. Some of these scientists stayed in the GDR, some moved to West Germany. So there was no “incentive” for these awards.

                        How pragmatic do you think? How is it in a concentration camp? Exhaustion work?

                        Exaggeration again. Do you have only 2 options? Either a reward, or exhaustion and a concentration camp?) Well, here's the third for you - just create acceptable conditions for work, and after its completion, release them to their homeland (scientists were prisoners of war like that). As you can see, state awards are not required at all.

                        Don't juggle, I said that people with similar beliefs waved a pick.

                        I said that there were people in the USSR who rejoiced at the success of the Americans (and von Braun) in the Moon Race. Not because they outplayed the USSR, but because they made a tremendous achievement for humanity as a whole.

                        To this you replied that such people were traitors.

                        To this, I gave you 2 specific names of people who were not any traitors - moreover, they played an important role in the formation of Soviet cosmonautics.

                        And now, again dipping a pug into the truth, you again began to spin around and rassusolit about some of my and their beliefs :)

                        Professionals could appreciate the work at its true worth, this is not at all the thoughtless enthusiastic admiration of the ignorant and mediocrity that you advocate.

                        I "propagandize" to recognize the objectively high contribution of the Americans (and von Braun) to the development of world astronautics. What is "thoughtless" here and how does this differ from the position of the same Chertok, who in his book "Rockets and People" in plain text calls von Braun a brilliant designer?
                        Come on, explain this difference to me, and I'll take a look at your next spin.

                        I'm sure you have a lot of them in your arsenal.

                        Of course, a lot. And none of them are related to the intimate practices that you are obsessed with :)

                        It was originally about von Braun. I was pretty tired of your verbal balancing act negative

                        How much can you explain the same thing? fool To use German scientists is progmatics. Any kind of "admiration and admiration" for German scientists working for enemies has nothing to do with pragmatics.

                        They were awarded after the implementation of the Soviet atomic project and were released. Some of these scientists stayed in the GDR, some moved to West Germany. So there was no “incentive” for these awards.

                        This means that their work was appreciated. Do you think there are many "figures" like you in the United States nowadays who exalt their merits immensely? Or at that time the Americans "applauded" their successes?

                        I said that there were people in the USSR who rejoiced at the success of the Americans (and von Braun) in the Moon Race. Not because they outplayed the USSR, but because they made a tremendous achievement for humanity as a whole.

                        It may very well be, but they were happy that people were able to fly to the moon and not specifically von Braun's successes.

                        To this you replied that such people were traitors.

                        Yes, that's right, about him. You said that people who survived the war had only one attitude towards him as a former Nazi scientist - a bayonet and a stock.

                        To this I gave you the example of other German scientists, including those who were in the NSDAP, who were awarded state awards in the USSR without any bayonets and butts.

                        There is no verbal balancing act here - there is a quite appropriate and correct analogy. Or is von Braun somehow different from those German scientists who were exported to the USSR?

                        To use German scientists is progmatics. ...

                        What is the "progmatics" of state awards? German scientists couldn't be used without reward?

                        To use German scientists is progmatics. Any kind of "admiration and admiration" for German scientists working for enemies has nothing to do with pragmatics.

                        Any kind of "admiration and admiration" for German scientists working for enemies has nothing to do with pragmatics.

                        Well, Chertok in his book tells how Soviet specialists analyzing the developments of the Germans, exactly what with delight and admiration related to their achievements, which far outstripped the achievements of the Russians, Americans and British in those years.

                        Quote:

                        Isaev told me about this rare find in Berlin on his return from Peenemünde. He was an engineer of the original mindset, keen on new non-standard ideas no matter who proposed them. In a half-whisper, so as not to be overheard, he narrated: “Bullet in the forehead! What's invented there! This is a plane! But not our pathetic BI, which has a bottle of some one and a half tons, and there are all 100 tons of solid fire! This plane is thrown by this damn engine to a terrible height - 300 or 400 kilometers!
                        It falls down at supersonic speed, but does not cut into the atmosphere, but hits it like a flat pebble that we throw at a minimum angle to the water surface. It hits, bounces and flies on! And so two or three times! Ricochet! Do you remember how we competed in the Carnelian Bay of Koktebel: who will have more sliding touches of the water. So, these figures thus glide through the atmosphere and dive down only after flying over the ocean to cut into New York! A strong idea! ...»

                        And Chertok himself calls von Braun in the same book a brilliant engineer.

                        This means that their work was appreciated.

                        Bingo. And they did not put them against the wall, and did not put a noose around their neck. But this is exactly how, in your own words, in the country most affected by the Nazis, Nazi scientists should have been treated.

                        Do you think there are many "figures" like you in the United States nowadays who exalt their merits immensely?

                        I do not know how the United States treats the Germans who worked for the USSR - I was not interested in this issue. Therefore, unlike you, I will not make any assumptions about this.

                        You can read what I answered a little higher. Is this another interpretation of what I said?

                        No, this is your next attempt to twist and distort the meaning of your own words.

                        You ascribe to me your conjectures and on the basis of this you deduce such "freaks".

                        No speculation, I just give you your own words, said earlier. The fact that you are now trying to justify these words of yours is your problem.

                        First, it's disgusting.

                        I agree. Your pathetic attempts to abandon your own words are disgusting :)

    If in the next few years nothing changes for the better in Russia, Russian cosmonautics will only continue to regress under the "curse". And, perhaps, it is worth considering why such a thing became possible at all.

    - Maybe because the salary of a researcher in Russia is less than $ 200? Maybe none of the smart people wants to go to low salaries? And why did cosmonautics develop in the USSR, but not in Russia? But is it developing in communist China? One gets the impression that aliens, or the Lord helps the communists and not so much - the capitalists.
    And Russia should now focus on developing a space elevator. This is the first step in the development of astronautics. No one will step into the distance without her.

And the decrease in our launches is not a consequence of our policy, but of the Western one, refusing mutually beneficial cooperation even to the detriment of itself - well, they press their loads in the middle parts of the body on our rocket to bring commercial loads, so they forbade their own to work with ours and pour billions of printed babos into their ...

                  What can I say, corruption in Korea has reached the highest echelons of power, it's sad crying

                  And here's how things are in Russia:

                  Why should we be like Korea? That corruption has been defeated in countries where immunity is not practiced?

                  And in 1999, the current president, with his first decree, guaranteed immunity, security, and life-long benefits to his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin, and his family members.

                  A very pragmatic solution Yes I think otherwise EBN would not have resigned, with all the ensuing consequences.

                    It has reached them in Russia too, but the "higher echelons" are not responsible for it.

                    Why should we be like Korea?

                    Because according to the corruption perception index, South Caucasus is in 46th position, and Russia - in 136.

                    A very pragmatic solution

                    Of course. After all, if Yeltsin had been brought in for her, it would have created a precedent, and it would have been more difficult for his successor to turn away from his responsibility.

                    I think otherwise EBN would not have resigned, with all the ensuing consequences.

                    To justify the absence of anti-corruption proceedings against a corrupt official by the shortcomings of the political system that he has built is such a level of argumentation :) However, this is always the case with you.

                      True? Have data or blah. blah. blah .. this is my value judgment ..... wink

                      Because according to the corruption perception index, South Caucasus is in 46th position, and Russia - in 136.

                      First, the corruption perception index and the level of corruption are not the same thing.
                      Secondly, the index was "calculated" by a rather curious organization Transparency International, its objectivity is rather doubtful. It's their job to throw at the fan.

                      The Russian branch of Transparency International was recognized as a "foreign agent"

                      https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/2703783

                      Of course. After all, if Yeltsin had been brought in for her, it would have created a precedent, and it would have been more difficult for his successor to turn away from his responsibility.

                      How naive do you have a naive notion of life, just bordering on infantilism? sad If attracted ... That is, EBN voluntarily goes to prison .... Are you talking about a man who did not flinch to shoot his own parliament from tanks? If it were not for the "inviolability" of the bloodless transfer of power, it simply would not have taken place.

                      To justify the absence of anti-corruption proceedings against a corrupt official by the shortcomings of the political system that he has built is such a level of argumentation :) However, this is always the case with you.

                      About the absence of anti-corruption proceedings against which specific corrupt official are you talking about? Or is everything abstract as always winked

                        I watched the video. Explains beautifully. What about appeals to law enforcement agencies? If you want to prove someone's guilt, there is only one way, through the court. He doesn’t do it even while he’s safe abroad. so it's all blah, blah, blah.
                        By the way, what money and where do Navalny live and study?

                        The absence of refutations is the best proof. Legal registration will take place immediately after an independent court appears in Russia.

                        By the way, what money and where do Navalny live and study?

                        Personally, I don't give a damn about that - Navalny is not in power.

                        Legal registration will take place immediately after an independent court appears in Russia.

                        Did Navalny tell you this or is it just your opinion? What court in your understanding is independent is not clear, for sure the one that will put people on videos on the Internet laughing Fortunately, the prospects for the emergence of such are very vague.
                        If the case was considered in court, Navalny's lawyers could have at their disposal real data, on the basis of which the court makes a conclusion. It would be possible to clearly show the correctness of their position and the bias of the court, if any. But, apparently, he is not interested in this. request All he needs is to trumpet about corruption and declare we have extracts. And under the guise of stealing "donatics" and attaching a family to them abroad.

                        Personally, I don't give a damn about that - Navalny is not in power.

                        Fortunately, he won't be there. If you don't give a damn, then you didn't send "donatics"? And the kids, if any? Check their pocket money laughing

                        Examples from countries with an independent court:

                        It is a pity that there are no European countries or the United States among them, and they told us so much about the wonderful judicial system. laughing I hope they will take the "righteous path", we are waiting for the soon "landing" of Mrekel or Biden good
                        In general, I am happy for the Koreans and South Americans, good luck to them. The example with Ukraine was particularly encouraging. Who was convicted of corruption there, tell me? Or when, for example, an "independent" Ukrainian court will convict at least someone for wearing banned Nazi symbols?

                        Sevastyanov also noted that in 2015 the Clipper reusable spacecraft will be "put into operation", with the help of which flights to the Moon will be carried out. The intermediate target for the Russian spacecraft will be the ISS, which, according to the head of the rocket and space corporation, by this time will turn into an international spaceport. In addition to the Clipper, intended mainly for transporting people, the interorbital tug Parom will participate in the construction of the lunar base.

                        For comparison:

                        The degree of US technological superiority in space is so pervasive that no potential adversaries / competitors in the foreseeable future can even come close to the overclocked locomotive of American private innovation in space. The Russian space program looks like a pale shadow of the technological might of the Soviet Union. For all the post-Soviet times, not a single truly breakthrough product or technology has been created. The imperceptibility of the size of the Russian economy, the ongoing brain drain, the degradation of technical education, the isolation of the space industry by international sanctions and export restrictions, and most importantly, the monopoly quasi-state structure of the space industry in the complete absence of entrepreneurial initiative - all this is a guarantee of guaranteed decay of the former power.

    How did it happen that the PRC has become a great space power, whose achievements cannot but cause a feeling of jealousy in Russians?

    Not jealousy, pride in a comrade who picked up the banner of socialism from the hands of a fallen teacher and continues the work of building socialism begun by the teacher.
    While the USSR was one of the two great powers in the world and was gradually decaying due to the formal socialization of production and the isolation of the leadership of the party and the state, the formation of a class of untouchables, planning from above for everything and everyone, an increase in commodity shortages and social fermentation, the PRC eked out a miserable existence and a bicycle was the ultimate dream.
    The turning point in the development of socialism in the PRC was the reforms of Deng Xiaoping, who realized that the economic policy of the state should never break away from the lower classes, that socialism is only a transitional stage and has such signs of capitalism as private initiative, property, personal enrichment, etc. natural aspirations of people.
    How to combine the private-proprietary interests of citizens with public and state interests K. Marx and F. Engels did not say a word, and V. I. Lenin not only pointed out - How, but also checked in practice. The New Economic Policy showed brilliant results in the 20s in the USSR, but after the death of V.I. Lenin it was curtailed under the growing threat of war and the need to mobilize all available resources to create heavy industry and the production of means of production.
    Deng Xiaoping took as a basis Lenin's experience of building socialism in relation to the specific conditions of China of his time, and the Chinese Communist Party enriched the theory of Marxism and outlined a "road map" for building socialism for all in relation to its specific conditions and times.

The hangara still flew with him. And shading to it basically ... "either cursed" wrong, then joked with a trampoline, somewhere at this level

    If we take away the hysterics, then we can state that in 2 years under Rogozin, Roscosmos has already done something.
    For example, already 2 years - not a single accident (52 starts). Not an achievement? Well compare with ESA
    So far, everything that is planned in the federal space program is being completed on time, including the construction schedule for the second stage at Vostochny, and the development of Soyuz5
    We managed to complete the transfer of production of the Angara to the Omsk flight. This is an integral part of Khrunichev's financial recovery. The debt burden has decreased from 130 billion rubles to 38 billion rubles.
    "Sarmat" in Krasnoyarsk is the same Roscosmos. In 2022 will be adopted

        The statistics given are not complete and do not fully correspond to reality:

        For the period from 2000 to 2009, 176 launches were carried out (17.6 per year), emergency - 11 emergency)

The reason is that only those launches that formally take place under its jurisdiction are displayed on the Roscosmos website. While in Russia, space launches are also carried out under the jurisdiction of the VVKO.

              And although these are formally different organizations, the technical part (the manufacture of missiles, preparation for launch, the launch itself, etc.) is performed by Roskosmos and the enterprises that are part of its structure. VVKO in such cases acts only as a customer and coordinator.

                    No, the Roscosmos website does not display launches performed in the interests of the Ministry of Defense.

                    Sure?

    Your Vanguards (which one or two have been used up) and Zircons (which are not yet in service at all) do not matter in the matter of the division of space resources, as long as you do not have what to extract and transport these resources.

    Last week, the next units with the Avangard unit near Orenburg took up combat duty. Next year we are waiting for the S-500. And Nudol. And this is an anti-satellite weapon. With China, there will most likely be cooperation, not a war in space. At least in the summer, the Chinese National Space Administration invited Roscosmos to agree on programs for exploring the moon and consider the possibility of creating a joint orbital station ...

      It is not enough to develop an engine; it still needs to be built and implemented. And then laugh at your health.

    Let's be realistic that today all these programs are nothing more than speculation and drawings in the sand. A repeat of our successes 40 years ago, this is not an application for development. Only our one nuclear tug program can change the alignment of forces as in the exploration of the Moon, Mars and Space in general.

    Oh! And it is possible to arrange the work so that in the City Clinical Hospital 64, who is snickering in wards for 6 people. there were toilets (I am silent about the shower), towels, disposable dishes in the dining room, for 80 patients with amputations not 10, but at least 20 serviceable wheelchairs, and cockroaches, on the contrary, were not there? And then at least to Mars, at least to Jupiter ...

      And who interferes with solving the problems of Jupiter and the toilets in parallel? The fact that you have to make a choice between them speaks only of the inefficiency of management.

      The funds for the development of the health care system were not taken by the Space Program. Here is a small example - the size of the loan issued to Turkey for the construction of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant exceeds the financing of the entire five-year space program ($ 20 billion). It's a matter of priorities
