Not Russia. It was Soviet Union. This happened in 80's of 20th century. We have also destroyed Napoleon, Nazi Germany and sold Alaska to the United States. Hot news on GFY!

For most of us it's not much of a difference.

how to spot a sore loser who got beat to space and to the moon?

answer: ask him if he is an american

ho ho ho ho

Because you are uneducated morons? The same thing you think abut Nazis and the modern Germany? In the other thread you have told you even don't know that Ukraine is not a part of Russia... What can I tell you here? Your education sucks. Seems like your parents were too poor and unable to pay for you (in the 1st world education and medicine are free). Please take my condolences on that.

kinda reminded me of this

Go cyberseo. some of the people on this forum are uneducated morons. I think you talk a lot of sense.

oh and how is the super advanced american shuttle program doing? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh


retired? :1orglaugh

was crap? :1orglaugh

you guys now launchin from russia? :1orglaugh

So the soviets copied our shit and couldn't even get it off the ground. You want to know why that thing is decrepit and sitting there rotting away? Because its a fucking embarrassment. :2 cents:

Laugh it up, the jokes on you. We are actually saving money by not sending the shuttle up anymore. Also, when we pull the plug on hitching a ride on your rockets, you won't have any money left to send them up, let alone have anything to fly them to, because the ISS will be dust.

Currently we are working on the biggest rocket ever made.... using what? The engines from our shuttles. While we are sending the first manned mission to mars, you guys will be still trying to get your head out of Ur-anus. :thumbsup:thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

yes launching all that money in to space and having it blow up is not good for the wallet :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

dude, do you realize how stupid it sounds when you say "we are saving money" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Cost of sending up a shuttle.... $450 million per mission

Cost of sending up one astronaut... $71 million. We don't need to send up a full crew anymore. Even when you jack up the price next year to $80 million a seat, we will still be spending less. In the meantime, SpaceX and Boeing are testing rockets and the chances are looking pretty good they will be cutting off the funds you fucking scalpers keep jacking up the rates on. But then again, what else should we have expected from you fucking degenerates?

Still saving money. Or don't you do math?

Wow, look at all those people!! Hold on to your wallets, Russian prostitutes 3 o'clock.

Yea, that's something to be proud of right there. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Good night

P.S. I had to edit this, because I missed the sign that says "KACCA", yea I know what it means to you, but here when you say it... it means doo doo....

in other words..... "shit,"... "poo poo." Wait, is that currently sober i see in line for Kacca?

They should have considered having the entire space to be transformed into a museum of space crafts.

That's a contract for several missions. Again, we don't need to send a full crew or a shuttle.... and dragon capsule sends supplies. Putting it in CAPS doesn't change the fact that we are still paying less to continue what we need to do. Nor does it change the fact the russians quadrupled the rates after an agreement was made. That's called scalping, usually reserved to lowlifes and scumbags selling "kacca"

reality: you were technically incapable of doing something safely, so you paid the ruskies, and when they saw how incapable you are, they quadrupled the rates, making you their bitch :2 cents:

now go back to pretending you are "saving money" in an economy that prints it out of control :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

1) They did not copied your shit, because your shit kills people (33% of all US shuttles have crashed with a fatal result - every 1/3 of all the US-made shuttles was broken. Too much even for the States...) So Buran was made from the scratch.

2) It was able to take off, get to the orbit and to land w/o accidents in a fully automatic mode (was operated by a robot).

3) The Soviet shuttle program was stopped when the cold war ended, because those toys were made for a military use.

Learn the history, moron.

Nope. The real cost of sending up a shuttle is a few human lives. Are astronauts in the United States of America something like a garbage?

Challenger:

Columbia:

Do you really think those fireworks are too expensive for America or many you have a small fraction of compassion to the people who have died because of the US engendering "genius"? Use Russian rocket technology and save lives of your astronauts. They are priceless.

P.S. Yes, please tell me more about Russian prostitutes, clown.

shocker, a couple of shit-stained scumbag fuckwads throwing Space Shuttle tragedies into American's faces.

no we are rubbing it in your face how you suck at science and cant make shit and have to pay others to do it ect,...heres a picture of pooty to cheer you up:

https://nationalpostcom.files.wordpr...in-2.jpg?w=940

right, some dumbfuckwad serb living in a bomb crater posting on gfy that [reusable] rocket science is easy.

i don't see serbs launching any rockets. getting rockets shoved up your fuckwad asses, yes, but launching, no.

There are quarterbacks. And there are sofa quarterbacks that took a few snaps junior year, maybe.

BTW, old good Russian Soyuz rockets have a special catapulting system. So thy have never killed a single human like Challenger did.



A single case of Soyuz explosion was in 1983 and... the crew has survived because Russian rockets are equipped with catapults. We don't consider our cosmonauts as a garbage - their lives are real priceless (watch the video).

Russia has done more space launches than the whole world combined. We have lost 4 humans. The States lost 17 because of their "super tech" rockets - expensive and very deadly. BTW all Russian 4 cosmonauts who died, have died in the landing capsules (a parachute failure and demagnetization). No single cosmonaut/astronaut has died because of Russian rocket technologies. Even one of Soyuz rockets has blow out on the start - they survived.

I love NASA, and loved the Space Shuttle Program. That being said though, when the budget to Nasa was cut and the Shuttle program was shut down, it was kind of a good thing. It has let NASA turn to pure research which is what it does best, and it has opened the floodgates for private space travel such as Space X, Virgin Galactic, and hopefully soon more.

The Shuttle program wasn't crap - it was definitely advanced for its time. It was the first "reusable" spacecraft, which anyone will tell you is a key requirement for cheaper, extended, travel to orbit and beyond.

It has also been a boon to Russia as you pointed out, but may even mean it is now cheaper for the US to get payloads up there.

Says the guy that thought going to Prague would be like going behind the iron curtain. If you were my employee I would ban you from speaking on GFY. You're such a fool.

You forgot to tell everyone about the Dog ("Laila") you launched in 1957 with "Sputnik 2", but with no return plan.

http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/ar.../51130.jpg?v=1

It was not even a special dog - it was someones pet. He was launched into space with no return program, and meant to die up there. Let's see. The dog was probably terrified being strapped into the capsule, scared so bad he shit himself during launch, and then oh yeah, died a slow death while running out of air, with its heart beating 4 times its usual rate, in a tiny little capsule that was 104 degrees inside. Nice.

It is also coming to light now that cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was not really the first man in space - only the first to survive. Brilliant.

And also, what you said is not true. Do a google search for Achilles and Giovanni Battista Judica-Cordiglia. They started picking an SOS signal in Morse Code after a Russian launch went horribly wrong including the dying gasps and fading heartbeat of a cosmonaut whose signal was getting farther and farther away from Earth![/I]. Russia may have some dead cosmonaugts still flying around up there...

Who in the fuck cares about some animal?

A bitchslap?

But for the few, there is :2 cents:

Who the fuck cares about some random humans?

And your net etiquette is so much superior? I loved visiting Toronto, beautiful city. Too bad there are shit stains like you there stinking up the place.

Wait, don't tell me, you're best buds with Dynamo, right?

Sorry you don't care about animals. It's a real shame that you are missing out on something so amazing. I hope you come around one day.

Peace, anyway.

Russians and Serbs :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Not that I'm a big fan of CyberSEO but evertone now uses Soyuz shuttles to get to the International Space Station (iSS)... There was even a debate regarding sanctions against Russia because in case russians get angry there would be no way to bring back astronauts from ISS

Wow, thanks for that insightful information. If we didn't have you, we would all need an internet connection so we could stay in touch with the times and up to date on info and stuff like that. Keep up the good work.

sure comrad, everything was always brilliant and shiny made by Russians:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

what happened with Gagarin btw. ? was it the same type of "accident" like also Алекса́ндр Ива́нович Ле́бедь had ? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

russia what a interesting study of what cabin fever does to people and politics.

Laika. Her name was Laika. Should I tell you how many apes and monkeys were killed by Americans?

this photoset includes them going inside the once operational shuttle. has a lot of the equipment still in it, and it's very sobering to see

really? they found beer cans in the main cabin apparently, wonder if it's connected.

just crazy how much money goes into these projects only for it to end like they do

>just crazy how much money goes into these projects only for it to end like they do
to sit in the Stone Age cheaper? :)

You can attack my caps or not but the fact that America here puts itself in this dependent position towards Russia in a field which was always a matter of pride and prestige can mean 2 things:

- Cold War is finally over

or

-American decline in full effect...

Call it practical... that's just a nicer word for decadence... and you know it...

We went to the moon.

As long as humanity is debating who is better, USA or Russia, we will be stuck where we are (decades without any serious step forward in this field).

Someone should help us.
