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.
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.
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.
They’ll find a way to launch it. They’ll go back into the old Soviet mindset of
throwing blini at a wall until something stickssending cosmonaut after cosmonaut until they have a success and then pretend the others didn’t exist.And they’ll fill the minds of young would-be cosmonauts full of propaganda and tell them that there was definitely no-one before them who died up there, especially not in pain or terror. Those were unmanned test missions. Strap yourself in, you’re going to space!
Everyone’s seen it coming, since it’s not their own space program, but one inherited from the USSR, and they haven’t even been really interested in properly maintaining it.
I know it’s a bad thing to write, but currently any russian set back is just fine by me
Elon Musk volunteering to blow up few astronauts in 3…2…1…
use a trampoline to get you Cosmonauts up there now?
