Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don't question Russian science or engineering, but is this project going to run into the same sorts of issues their war has?
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
Except the time when Rogozin was in charge, at least.
Considering levels of corruption in the last few years and hard brain drain I guess Russian space exploration is doomed. Thanks, Putin!
Foe years America used Russian rockets to get things into space.
"Russian components, American components... ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!"
~~Russian~~ Soviet
People, not things. America didn't have man-rated rockets between 2012 and 2020.
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.
And in the end its all German tech they stole...
America and our German scientists, and Russia and their German scientists...
Let's not act like operation paperclip wasn't a rat race for both.
They didn't steal German tech, Germany caused two worlds wars and war prizes were taken including technology and scientists.
Setting aside the fact that looting a country you beat in a war is still very much stealing, Germany didn't cause the great war and if you understood an iota of history you'd realize that. Did they use it to advance their own causes and take land/resources? Yeah. Pretty much the standard MO for every country that's ever been in a war, though. Weird to single them out for their actions in WW1 in that regard.

No, it isn't. Space Shuttle for one thing, many Telescopes, Sat's...and so on. Russia hasn't done shit. Even the ISS Modules from Russia are crap and the ones that make the most problems.
The space shuttle was 30 years after the space race homie. Also incorrect, NASA itself disagrees that it was Russia alone at fault.
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.
