Right, looks like the cooperation between Russia and western countries when it comes to space launches is a thing of the past. Good thing NASA (or rather SpaceX) managed to get their launch system going on time. I also wonder what this means for the future of the ISS? I mean, the actual Russian astronauts are probably as appalled by this as anyone else, but what will their higher-ups decide?
- edgarvaldes 5y agoCompletely OT, but "Baikonur cosmodrome" is such a beautiful name. Shame we are using it in the context of war and destruction, and not in a futuristic Space Exploration, transhumanist one.
