Roscosmos shared footage of the launch, which showed part of the launchpad collapse into an exhaust trench below as a result of the rocket’s blast.
Whelp, guess that’s the end of things for a bit. It’ll be interesting to see where Pootin manages to dig up the millions he’ll need for repairs.
They’ll find it, their space program is one of the few things going well for Russia, and there’s too much prestige on the line.
Sounds like they haven’t had sufficient funds to keep it in good repair, yet they’re announcing that after decomissioning the ISS they will launch their own Russia-only space station. Baloney?
Anyhow I feel they’re busy with other things right now and launching astronauts is not their #1 priority. But this could point to Russia’s economy/society crumbling more and more, so it’s still a net positive.
The only thing that really pisses me off here is that it will most likely play into Musky Melon’s hand.
The Russians said it wll be repaired quickly. The accuracy of this is anyone’s guess.
They also said their special operation would be done quickly, and we all know how that turned out
it is estimated that 80 to 85% of all russians are drunks. That is probably why this happened and why it wont be repaired anytime soon.
Elon Musk volunteering to blow up few astronauts in 3…2…1…
I know it’s a bad thing to write, but currently any russian set back is just fine by me
use a trampoline to get you Cosmonauts up there now?
