[MrSBChevy]

is this place in chicago or somewhere in illinois? i swear ive seen this thing in person

[joelp63]

@MrSBChevy -It's at the Cosmosphere, in Hutchinson, Kansas.

[Fisicalista]

Good job. The media don`t let us know about it. They ever say `the americans went to the moon`.

Ok. But the soviets sent robots!!

The 1st Russian Lunokhod started its way on the Moon on November, 17 1970. The Lunokhod-1 covered 10 km 540 m in 154 days. It made 500 ground tests, 25.000 photographs and took 200 panoramic sights. In 1972-1976, the robots Luna-20, Luna-24 and Lunokhod-2 continued research of the Moon. For the first time in history the Moon was reached by the Russian apparatus Luna-2 on September 14, 1959. The Luna-2 delivered a pennant of Russia on the Moon and shuttered thus the Moons peace and quiet.

This is one of two training/engineering models I believe. The Soviets used their only remaining unit to explore the wreckage at Chernobyl during the crisis. Even a rover hardened to withstand the environment of the lunar surface was no match for the reactor because the probe's systems literally fried within a couple of minutes and is rusting where it stopped to this very day.

@BGSlopy-"You clearly have something aganst the russians you can clap your jar all day.

Where did you get that idea? Using this logic, I can conclude that YOU have something against America, because you seem to "clap your jar" just as much as I do. Keep in mind, YOU were the one who responded to me.

"i dont have the time for it"

Apparently, you do, you've responded to every singl comment I've posted.

"obiosly just troling"

Don't give that "You're just a troll" crap. I'm winning.

[BGSlopy]

@optimusprimemc911 You got a poin in all this ?! You clearly have something aganst the russians you can clap your jar all day i dont have the time for it . You answer selectively to my post and obiosly just troling so good day to you sir i wont reply to your post eny more i haev better thing to do .

@BGSlopy-"How many manhours do the soviets/russians have to this day ? How many space launches ?"

America has way more man hours in space, you even admitted that.

"How many space launches "

Less, but that's irrelevant. The frequency of something doesn't show superiority.

"How many firsts - first space walks , first moon landing "

Being "first" is not the main goal. The goal is the size of the achievment. America paved the way for all mankind, but Russia only sent robots.

@BGSlopy And so on .... Talk to me in numbers and events every one can claim something or make generalisations.

[BGSlopy]

@optimusprimemc911 Lets get back to your firs post becouse this is going nowere you said that i was rased up on propaganda (whits is right to all of us including you in every field of human acriviry - space exploration , politics , mass culture and so on) . Tell me EXACLY (numbers dates stats) what part of my claims you thik are forgery of propaganda. How many manhours do the soviets/russians have to this day ? How many space launches ?How many firsts - first space walks , first moon landing .

@BGSlopy-We're not just talking about soyuz, we're talking about the entire space program of two different countries.

"The Soyuz space craft is operatin from 1967 to this day delivering men, equpment in to space whit only 4 deats"

Since that time, the soyuz has had various modifications and numerous changes. The soyuz we see today are hardly anything like they were back in 1967. Unlike the space shuttle which had barely any changes, and worked to near perfection.

[BGSlopy]

in the 60 and 50 ties when the Soviet union was seriosly laging behind the US in his nucliar arsenal and most importantly the mens to diliver it - rocketes tactical, mid range and ICBM .Many safty procesiers were ignored and pople worked 27x7 to deliver and so many mistakes were madeBut if we start talking about service leught abilities and reabilitry the soviet space program put more people and equpment in to space and whit less casulties doing so .Just think whos supplying the ISS now .

[BGSlopy]

@optimusprimemc911 And again this is irelevant becouse im comenting on the space ships reability to do there job and bring people back safe . The Soyuz space craft is operatin from 1967 to this day delivering men, equpment in to space whit only 4 deats - the best american craft the shuttle is grounded becouse it killede twise its crews and cost milions of dolars in material damage. Yes the soviets had more deats in rocket bilding in general due to the haste and presure the men were put on ...

[BGSlopy]

@optimusprimemc911 Typical western kid now you start to unsult me - "Good you can add numbers" The R 16 in particular never send satelites or eny other equpment or personel to orbit simply becouse it lacked the mean to do so it cant reach firs space speed (i dont know how you call this in english) the speed nesesery to beak in to orbit from the planet gravity and the necesary payload.It was a militay ICBM . Its was never intended to be used for space exploration.
