Re: Dmitry Rogozin on SpaceX Crew Dragon Launch
#2I guess I understand the... aggressive tone of the piece given the amount of flag waving in the recent Crew Dragon launch. But, just speaking as an American with a little interest in space, I have a lot of respect for the Soyuz program.

#3Is this satire? It appears to be the real Roscosmos website, and yet this press release reads like the response of a child that – in an attempt to suppress tears after being second in a competition – lashes out defensively and throws around insults and excuses.
I'm trying to think of a less demeaning adjective, but the most fitting that comes to mind is "butt-hurt".

#4Wow, there's so much... negativity in this post by Rogozin. It reads like "sour grapes":
" Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although it leaped with all its strength. As it went away, the fox remarked 'Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need any sour grapes.'"[a]
People who speak disparagingly of the accomplishments of others would do well to apply this story to themselves.

Ah, I see is first time experiencing Russian loss. Is normal response to losing.

#6> The new American spacecraft are more than double the weight of a Soyuz while offering only one additional seat.
Is this true? The launch mass of a Soyuz capsule is about 7000kg and the SpaceX Crew Dragon Demo-1 launch mass was about 12000kg so not "more than double" however Demo-1 didn't include astronauts. The Crew Dragon can theoretically carry several tonnes of cargo to the ISS in addition to 4 astronauts.

#7You have to give credit to someone who is willing to put their neck on the line in such a public way. Best of luck, and I hope the competition pushes us all forward!

Demo-1 also did not have a full life-support system, though I'm not sure that weighs 2000kg.

I was thinking the same thing, reading this was surreal- I had to re-read passages and double check things to make sure this is a legitimate and not some kind of satire or highly metaphorical thing that went completely over my head. Butt-hurt seems to be spot on.

Rogozin must have been put under serious pressure following the Crew Dragon launch. Note that he does not mention any budget or how Roscosmos is going to address the loss of resources due to NASA and other countries buying less Soyouz seats from now on (ESA's Pesquet is for instance scheduled for Crew Dragon).
