I mean... I hate what the fucker is doing to Ukraine.

But Russians have their spot in history in terms of great space exploration advancements.

They had a space station up there first. Before everyone else. The MIR. So.... I wouldn't doubt on their capability to put their own space station again.

USSR, not Russia.

Bro. Nasa relied on Russian tech to bring supplies to astronauts and cosmonauts at the ISS for years.

I understand you don't like Russia for political reasons. Neither do I. But science and space is a totally different thing.

Bro, there is no technical innovation outside of the West and exceptions were by-default stolen from the West. Where do you get your news from?

Exactly. The fourth cosmonaut in space was Ukrainian.
