>Elon Musk and SpaceX are just trying to copy Soyuz
How are they copying Soyuz?

From a commercial point of view they're interesting because they're using reusable rockets.

how is Bill Gates more self-made than Musk? They both got rich off of tech startups.

>It blows up in the atmosphere
>The entirety of south central Kazakhstan is irradiated
Ebin.

competition is what pushed humanity to the moon, its very necessary to get us into space before china destroys us all

In what way is SpaceX "trying to copy Soyuz"? Their primary cash cow is a medium launch vehicle with a recoverable first stage, which is a completely unprecedented thing. It's nothing like the Soyuz launch vehicle.

Winner: Humanity

Nah, you just want our oligarchs to spend more money on irrelevant shit, so we could suffer some more

>Bill Gates is a philanthrope actively bettering this planet.

Bill Gates was tinkering with his buddy in some lost abandoned shed and his education suffered from it.
Elon got where he is from nepotism and because he's rich as fuck. He invested in shit that was going to take off and claimed responsibility for them.
Now he sits back and let's all the glory of the SpaceX employees go to him.

He's a glorified social media manager if anything.

I hope Russia wins the next space race, but only after Trump is gone, when the burgers will become commies.

THIS. You didn't even do shit on the moon. Stop rewriting history.

No, the USSR was unironically a good thing for the US

>putting text in the green font makes them epicly invalid
PUT ME IN THE SCREENCAP, PUT ME IN THE SCREENCAP!!!

Elon Musk inherited wealth from rich landowner daddy.
It's literally a small loan of a million dollars type entrepreneur

oh it's a diaspatriot, don't bother boys

>some irrelevant rock
The US matched the Soviets every step of the way. But the Soviets never got to the moon, they gave up. The US ended up with a clearly more capable space program than the Russians. You tried and you failed, ergo you lost.

>Winner: Humanity

You have no idea how much I hate cucks like you

Going to the moon is much harder than the rest of those milestones combined.

>His company does the occasional good thing
What?
PayPal is good thing. Now we have improved e-commerce.
But the rest is just overhyped.
Tesla cars are just expensive fancy toys for rich manchildren. There are no any real progress for humanity. Real huge progress in electric cars will be when any company will made mass-producing cheap car and easy available way to charge it.

Wrong proxy, Comrade Vatnique.

Bill Gates stole some software and sold it to his mom's company.

>the space race is a bad thing because it wasn't my country who participated
I want to see humanity forge an empire spanning the stars we see in the night sky

the moon had no fucking value other than trolling the other side of the political fence
westerners just hate admitting that russians actually were able to beat them at something despite their oh-so all encompassingly shit communism that literally starved everyone to death except when it didn't

Russians have higher IQs and that's a fact.
Just look at their contributions in science, culture, history and religion

Sputnik was literally just a shitty toaster that beeped.

Dude, the electic engine in the Tesla cars are basically what the world engine will be, using the earth magnetic field.
It's pretty fucking important stuff..

Alright. So where is the American space station? Oh...

>tf
>tp
You're just paid troll

It could easily be done if we still cared about space. If you hadn't collapsed, we'd both have our own space stations right now. Now everything is done internationally because the US severely underfunds NASA

Yeah, they had slavery, death camps, attack wars and genocides. Not sure what it says about IQ.

Fire is just rubbing your hands together really fast.

Source or disregarded

I agree it was hard, Space Race stalemate, kinda hard. Not space race EBIN VICTORY, CONUMISM ENTERNALI BTFO

>russians have a higher iq

good laugh, go to a place that will actually believe you vlad

Honestly both sides proclaimed that they won, why does it matter? just let us be think that we won. It was the Cold War.

this entire post is just cope

Neither side started the space program for any real gain. It was a spinoff of ICBM programs. Both sides tried to get to the moon, only one made it.
Skylab
ISS (built by the space shuttle, another thing you never got around to doing properly)

The US has been able to match every single thing the Soviets did in space. The Soviets never got to the moon, which was by far the most difficult among them. I'm not even arguing with you brainwashed faggots - nothing can do 50 years of intensive propaganda - just putting this out here for the neutral observers to see.

>we actually don’t care
Oh. Ok then.

Stop being such a cuck for fuck's sake. The moon shot is probably the single most impressive thing your pathetic excuse for a nation has ever accomplished. It's been downhill from there ever since.

>Skylab
Where is it?
>not even arguing
Yes, clearly they won the whole race, USSR blown the fuck out

He didn't even conjure up Pay Pal, he just piggy backed off of others succes.

>slavery
you gotta put your dissidents somewhere
the US has super high prison rates and shit workers conditions, just look at the construction of the new york subway system
>death camps
only during stalin
>attack wars
what do you call neo-conservatism and the US foreign policy since Reagan?
>genocides
only during stalin
also when ukrainians pull a big unga bunga on you in the middle of wartime, and you warn them properly and thoroughly, a little holodomoring by means of stopping supplies isn't that unjustified, atleast it isn't holocaust levels inhumane
>inb4 kike
yes i relish in blood matzah and usury

>litterally just whataboutism

no way you are not russian

...?

>using the magnetic field
wut?

Sorry but I don't share any kinship with shitskins.

Russia is the super power of he future, Tommy, keep that in mind.

the Russians had ICBMs long before and they also always had those pesky long-range bombers that could fuck up the East coast when stalin was alive, even

>Both sides tried to get to the moon
Lol, this was never the main achivement. It's you just trying to rewrite history now, same as with your stupid Cold war, like you won any real war.
In terms of difficulty, making semi-autonomous Space station is even harder than flight to the moon. Stupid propagandist. If it even would important Soviets would fly there after americans, it's not that matters.

It's true, NASA makes up like 0.05% of the federal budget
Honestly there's no winning with foreigners
>You didn't win you fat fucks!
>stop sugar coating it you cuck, the US won!

>yes let's blame this entity for acting this way when it's the only way that has been acted in all of history
okay mr jean jaque rousseau, what should they have done differently? sucked the dicks of the afghans and be friendly to the americans when they were stationing nukes in Turkey?

Unpopular opinion among euros desu

>It was a spinoff of ICBM programs.
This, the Space Race was just a dick waving contest to see who had the better tech. Plus we won in the ICBM competition as well, Russian rockets had dogshit accuracy so they rely on bigger warheads to compensate. Its pathetic.
>12th place in GDP rankings
>Economy will become even more shit when the natural resources dry up
>Entire military relies on Cold War era tech because they can't afford anything newer
lol

The moon thing was very cool but from a techical point Russia invented space travel and space exploration, now space programs only get the left overs of the defence budget

Some faggots are saying electric cars are the future. Me? I'm investing in magnet cars

>Russia will be a superpower
Lmao, The USSR was richer than modern Russia in the 1970s. US was 2x wealthier than the USSR in 1970, now the US is 11x richer lmao.

I ll spell it out for you dumb fucks: after the USA falls, in the distant future, when only the UN will remain, they ll basically put a electric engine in antartica, and they ll generate infinite enegery.

I mean, ffs, this is basic physics, and we already have an eletric engine.

The Earth's magnetic field is way too weak to move a car, nevertheless my finger when I hold a magnet in place.

I don't wish it upon yer women :^)

I hope by nuclear rocket they actually mean nuclear missile.

>implying I'm talking only about Communist Russia
And if we are talking about Americans then I'd say Russians have contributed maybe about 0,01% to science, history and culture compared to Americans.

>super high prison rates
That's a fun one. The first time people outside the elite could leave Russia was in 1991 and boy did they unfortunately go to other countries. So the whole of the Evil Empire was a prison. Before that they were slaves to Commies or Aristocrats and couldn't own money or assets. Even now the regime decides who can own assets and a large number of Russians aren't allowed to leave Russia.

Well, ok.
Not infinite.
But basically it ll be more than now, and we ll use this tech on others plantes too to make them energy self sufficient.
So, kinda infinite production of energy.
Happy now?

Unless ofc, we don't end the Human race by nuking each other to oblivion lol.

You'll have to be a bit more specific.

Still managed to send your whole nation into panic, which is still reflected in your pop culture even now.

Soyuz lands on platforms at sea to reuse rockets?

If you arent a Tesla shareholder or something I'm not sure why you care about his behavior.

kinda makes me happy 100,000 r*skis starved to death just so sputnik propaganda could be made.

should have been sent to the red army to conquer western yurope instead, at least they'd die for a real cause

Jesus fucking Christ the pure ideology over here. Both are capitalist parasites getting rich off theft from the WORKERS which make their products, and the "users" aka WORKERS which buy their products.

It's like you have subzero IQ. You are like a dog, completely mindless and obedient to its master.

but isn't that their special purpose, to suffer? they are the greatest nation born to suffer. too good for this world.

We have a few nuclear powered probes which caused hippy butthurt iirc because they cant understand that outside of our planet space is filled with radiation.

I actually love Russia and Russian people

I love how absolutely smug Russiaball is in the 2nd slide

Those are thermoelectric generators providing just power to the probes, not propelling them. The Soviets actually housed similar generators all around the union in places that worked like lighthouses, I believe. Then the union fell, the records were buried and some of them are unaccounted for, triggering a mini crisis. I think a lumberjack got inside one of those structures, and took or dissassembled the generator and died of radiation some days later, iirc.
Whatever the US agency for nuclear power is, they also monitored those probes all the way into orbit, because a failure while in flight meant spreading all that radiation inside the atmosphere. That's why nuclear propelled rockets are a no-no near Earth. Something goes wrong, and you seed entire continents with radioactive material.

I want your oligarchs to spend more money on irrelevant shit so that they finally force you to stand up and take your country back.
Russia deserves to be free.

Ah yes, Russian rockets

Underrated comment

Conflict is great for humanity. You see all of us this decadence in the West due to a lack of conflict. No one cares about Arabs in the desert anymore, that's old news. We need something similar to the Cold War. There needs to be an active threat on both sides, not a bunch of Muslims miles upon miles away.
