“Study of the moon is not the goal,” said Vitaly Egorov, a popular Russian space analyst. “The goal is political competition between two superpowers — China and the USA — and a number of other countries which also want to claim the title of space superpower.”
I don’t question Russian science or engineering, but is this project going to run into the same sorts of issues their war has?
No Russia beat the us in almost every metric for space flight, we got to the moon first and that’s all anyone remembers.
They’re a lot of things but their space program is pretty boss.
You can downvote but it will still be just at true.

Sure and that was iirc a mismatch error between the station and pod. Russian parts connect to Russian parts pretty well, connecting them to anything else is… Iffy.
And in the end its all German tech they stole…
They didn’t steal German tech, Germany caused two worlds wars and war prizes were taken including technology and scientists.

I think this mission is their desperate attempt to have a success so Putin doesn’t draft half their workforce and tell the rest to start launching Soyuz rockets at Ukranian preschools
Foe years America used Russian rockets to get things into space.
“Russian components, American components… ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!”
RussianSovietConsidering levels of corruption in the last few years and hard brain drain I guess Russian space exploration is doomed. Thanks, Putin!
