Russia is going after Navalnys organization. About time. Now just toss him out of the country and never let him return. Offing him would be just what the madman wants so don't make a martyr.
By the way. Speaking of space and the moon. These stupid Russians, they really can't understand anything.What are they doing? Instead of spending a lot of money, like all decent countries, to deliver a small box of soil from the Moon, or in the worst case, send a video camera with wheels there.. They take and send there an automatic laboratory ! Who doesn't even have a microphone to broadcast the sound of the moon wind ! In a word, savages.
)))))
I think that everything is not easy with Luna-25. Let's see what will happen next, very little information. But I really want everything to work out.
Russia lost its only space program function: using soviet rockets to ferry astronauts to the space station. While putin promises many great space programs (always just a little bit further in the future) the civilized world is exploring Mars and building a lunar program. Roscosmos: all talk, no action.
Mars is a waste of time for humanity until we have a moon base and major infrastructure in NEO. Once you get out of a gravity well why in the hell would you want to go back into one? If we're smart we'll just break mars up and use it to make a Dyson swarm. Mercury too, keep Venus because all we have to do is cool it and it may be useful.
Russia is building another space station and apparently the Chinese are in on it too. What's America doing? Trying to figure out if there are 2 or 100 genders and fighting amongst itself.

Russia is the third space power in the world. But you can continue to live in your virtual world, of course.
This would be really good news, nobody should participate in the West's genocide of Syrians.
The Russians and their friends should do the same with Venezuela. Maybe even open a joint Russian-Chinese military base there to openly violate Monroe.
I heard a few days ago that Russia and China are planning to build a huge pipeline, so I suppose Russia doesn't really care about Nord Stream 2 anymore, either. If the West violates the contract, they have to pay Russia a lot of money, and if it sticks to the pipeline, fine as well.
The pipeline is called the Power Of Siberia project. It's actually meant to be a system of lines and they're far from finished.
NS2 was requested by Germany and others so that a dependable flow of gas would be available. Ukraine and Poland are not reliable. Ukraine stole European gas and refused to pay their gas bills before. Polish politicians are basically rabid and prone to stupid actions. They're unreliable partners and Ukraine will lose billions in transit fees because once NS2 is finished they will only get what they pay for in advance.
Even if NS2 is not used Russia will not be hindered. Remember, it was a favor to Europe.
Russia is in the process of building its own space station, which is why they abandoned the ISS.
They might also join China's ambitious space program.
Oh yeah, surrrre they are.
They abandoned the ISS because NASA did not renew its contract to use their rockets for getting there. Nobody needs Russia for the last purpose it had for space. Now they are a 3rd rate cheap satellite launcher competing on price with state subsidies and currency devaluations.
While we are flying helicopters on Mars, Russia is putting cool videos on TV about how advanced they are going to be "someday soon". As if to justify the authorities stealing the national wealth, Russians will be fine with it as long as they feel powerful. It is an illusion of greatness...
NASA, the ESA and maybe soon China are the only real space powers. The rest are bit players.

Venus’s surface level pressure is way too high to accommodate humans.

NASA just awarded SpaceX a contract to build rockets for the next Moon landing.

China will launch the core module of its own space station by the end of April. The remaining modules will be launched by the end of 2022.
Russia gave up its ISS obligations because 1) they want their own station and the ISS contract expires soon anyway 2) because the ISS, or at least the Russian module of it, is old and shows quite some wear and tear. They have spent a lot of time looking for and fixing leaks recently. Leaks can be fatal up there.
