This is not a sad day, despite some hopefully temporary setback in the space exploration. А ты дурак.

How many launches Rogozin did in 2020 comparing to US and China? What about a trend for last 5 years? How about planned launches in 2021? There is a real decline and only a blind person cannot see it.

You can drink Vodka every year and be proud of Gagarin but it will not help to change anything about russian space.

This news is a tribute to Yuri and everyone involved. You may create your own topic on what Rogozin did or did not. I am pretty sure people will upvote.

IMHO, there is no point in shallow celebration. Especially if recall how many people made engineering work in literal prisons. Today is pinnacle of totalitarianism.

July 20 is more appropriate date to be proud of humanity.

November 9th, too.

The size of the Russian economy is smaller than the USSR. They're are US states with larger economies.

Economy size tends to shrink, when nearly half your population decides to leave.

No need for namecalling/insults.
