Well your intention is admirable but childish.
Nobody gives a fuck about Russia's scientific endeavours when they're re starting the biggest military conflict in Europe since WWII and threatening everyone with a nuclear conflict.
Most probably any scientific progress that could be made will not be used for mankind's progress but for the current militaristic propaganda.
All of Apollo took place during the Vietnam war. Somehow I think you'd feel differently about that.
You're correct about the Appolo missions, but don't tell me the Space Race was about science. It's was fully politically motivated also. Without the Cold War nobody would have put the money and effort in so the Moon landing could happen in '69.
There are a lot of other missions that happened for pure scientific reasons but I don't think this is one of them.
Disagree. I hate the russian goverment and its fascist invasion lf Ukraine, but a moon lander is great scientific progress no matter where it comes from. It is sad that this happened and its why the lack of international cooperation in space exploration is bad for humanity as a whole.
I understand your point of view and it's correct but not realistic. This mission is bashed because it's purpose was never science but propaganda. To validate a Phoenix like revival of the Russian empire. That they are strong and relevant on the world scene. The reactions to the failure were in tune with the intended purpose of the mission. Science (like usual) is the background of the political agenda.
People here acting like a moon mission is going to uncover the cure for cancer. lmao
Ignorance to the actual Nazis in Ukraine and their military is also severely childish.
Cope. Most ppl would dislike russia since it is and authoritarian shithole. The only reason russia is tolerated is opposition to the USA. Tolerance is different from endorsement or appreciation. Fuck Russia
