I don't like this person (and our officials in general), but I feel compelled to say, that I find the mockery of his points and all things Russian (in this thread and overall) absolutely disgusting and borderline insulting. Sadly, it's quite typical. The most atrocious example of this mentality is (still, after so many years) US propagandist efforts to make everyone believe, that their participation in the WWII was d…

The reason the history is so biased against the Russians in the US is because it was written by German generals. They ended up doing two things: 1. Absolving themselves of any guilt or mistake. It's all Hitler's fault. :rolleyes: 2. The Russians only won because of luck, winter, and unlimited manpower. Franz Halder ended up getting the second highest American civilian honor for writing that history. Of course, we ask…

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure sizeable chunk of that is coming from russians who are very annoyed nothing good can ever happen in modern russia because of people like Rogozin.

But when were they dishonored or disrespected?
> In this connection, I note another strange moment seen in not only the ‘expert’ statements, but also coming from the side of NASA officials — such as Stephanie Schierholz, who have already started making wreaths to bury the Russian Soyuz spacecraft alive. I’m still trying to find evidence of this event ever happening.

There is always implied competition when it comes to space since its something that only the "richest" countries can do, especially crewed spaceflight
I do not see what competition or race US won, I mean US just catch up in a way, they managed to wash the humiliation of depending on Russia but I could not see how catching up is a win.
I'm not sure why Mr. Rogozin is writing in English and in Forbes, but yes this is mainly aimed at the internal audience. There's a lot of bitching and moaning in certain Russian circles about how the space program is falling behind and OMG Space-X launched a crewed vehicle, we're all doomed kind of thing. The reality is that of course Space-X is standing on the shoulders of giants (NASA and US Treasury) and that the…
I agree with this for sure. Yeah, what SpaceX and, to a lesser extent, Boeing, are doing is cool, but there's something to be said for being the "old faithful" of the launch industry. No one else can really hold a candle to the flight heritage of Roscosmos' rockets and crew vehicles. Sure, they haven't fundamentally changed in a long time and aren't new and shiny like Falcon, but they've been flying for forever and are reliable.

This thread is a discussion of a particular article of a particular hysterical Russian official. You're trying to turn it into a clown show in a Roskosmos Twitter style: "We are Russians, god with us", "We did not start WWII in 1939", proving most of commentators here right. Glad you joined us on HN, Mr.Rogozin.

There are few good points tho. For example: >Our Soyuz MS has proven to be the world’s most reliable spacecraft. We have a unique record of 173 successful flights. Even the three emergencies caused by the carrier rocket failures in 1975, 1983 and 2018 occurring during various injection stages showed its unique survivability due to the launch escape system reliability. By the way, the Soyuz rocket of various configura…
Barring slippage, they're supposed to have three more launches before the end of June, which would put them on track for 24 this year. They seem to be well on their way to matching 173, based on their current record and high flight rate.
I don't agree with ideas of the article :) but Soyuz spacecraft did fly quite a lot of flights. More than Shuttle already, and counting.
