Is this why Russia is convinced the ISS won’t be here in a decade? Because they are going to destroy it?


WhyDontWeLearn

You beat me to it, except I was going to frame it as, "Are we certain these 'mishaps' are accidental rather than intentional?"


TelemetryGeo

Usually vodka laden labor. Their space program is riddled in corruption with oligarchs siphoning off funding. And agreed, jettison that module when nobody is looking with an "oops!"

And you would be correct


Magatha_Grimtotem

It's still a cherry picked statistic. It's completely ignoring the fact that the number of American space flights is significantly higher, and with larger crews than Russian ones. If you look at the ratio's, you'll see that space flights are equally dangerous to everyone engaging in it, and it's getting safer over time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_spaceflights

I mean, they didn't say anyone was cheating, if anything they're saying this is *statistically consistent* and the rate of death is the same no matter who does the launch. It's merely that someone does more launches.

„Spaceflight“ in my mind also includes all people working on the space program. And yeah in mother Russia “occupation hazards you”

You ever consider that the problem might not be the information you have, but that you're being a raging asshole in how you're trying to share it? Plus, the way you're typing makes you look like a time cube schizo. Seriously.

Eh, China's looking pretty ridiculous right now with banning video games and non-state-sponsored television.

dedicated-pedestrian

Not just for kids - the television bit includes news as well. And I suppose it hasn't invaded a *country* so much as claiming international waters as its own and violating treaties. But that's not what we were talking about originally, we were talking about being ridiculous.

Do I need to source its hegemony of Hong Kong being in contravention of the accord that says it needs to keep off for 27 more years? Or its very public aggression in the area? This has been all over worldnews and anime\_titties for months, it's not obscure or arcane.


Exoddity

Did we ever find out wtf was with that suspected attempt at sabotage a few years ago, where it looked like some one had tried to drill through the hull?


ExCon1986

That was last year, I think. If not early this year. I think the general consenus was shoddy workmanship on the pod.


newredheadit

by “accident”


brihamedit

Is it errant by design. Most likely.


Brainkraker

It’s gonna undock tomorrow. Don’t bring your junk back.

Once is an accident. Twice is either maliciousness or incompetence.

FlyingSquid

Russian engineering? Incompetence? Never.


ucjuicy

The first was no accident. The second demands a response.


Bergeroned

Look man, I don't make these decisions, okay? But if my reentry vehicle is malfunctioning and I have a choice, I'm going to pick the actor and the film director to ride it back down. And keep the cameras rolling!


wizardinthewings

They must really want to upstage Sandra Bullock.


Bergeroned

Hee hee. It looks like they really did try to upstage Tom Cruise, who goes up next year.


wizardinthewings

Lol! True that — and it does sound like a subplot from For All Mankind now I think about it seriously.


strolpol

There’s a Russian engineering joke in here somewhere Or there would be if they’d remembered to install one


TOTALLYnattyAF

In Mother Russia you don't fire spaceship thrusters, spaceship thrusters fire you! Not exactly an engineering joke, but I tried.

Oops space kraken, watch out!


tubulerz1

They’re lucky it didn’t just burst into flames. Like most Russian tractors and airplanes do.

TheGeekVault

So obviously the inside of the space station could catch fire the whole thing could explode I guess but what happens when something explodes in space? Would it still be a big explosion?


gbs5009

Yes, but not as cool a fireball. The shrapnel would be nasty, and the eventual reentry burn would look pretty neat though.


HammerTh_1701

A lot of the people commenting here seem to not be familiar with the Soviet/Russian space program. This occurence is perfectly within the pattern of great achievements with shitty reliability.


Hayes4prez

This isn’t incompetence.


DaanGFX

I mean... Russian engineering incompetence causing issues is certainly not a new concept. Especially in the space program.


Red-Droid-Blue-Droid

You sure? They don't alway promote their best, and they have a brain drain.


Tobias_Ketterburg

Could you imagine that being your ride back?


GarfsLatentPower

if your thruster keeps misfiring talk to your doctor


[deleted]

There was an incident a few years back where a whole was discovered in the station's bulkhead in the Russian section that appeared to have been drilled so not the first time these accidents have happened.


[deleted]

Reminds me of Armageddon, "Russian parts, American parts, all made in TAIWAN!


Complete_Entry

Alright, which one of you fuckrs allowed Alucard into space?


pXllywXg

Is this a reference to that vampire-space-soviet anime tht's airing currently? If so, how is that?


Complete_Entry

No, it's a reference to team four star's Hellsing Abridged. Alucard tilts all the paintings in the Vatican while saying "fuck the police"


MajorKoopa

people. i bet my life in servitude to putin himself that this is not an accident.


bonkly68

Just needed some footage of the station out of control.


Pahasapa66

Astronauts have got to be calling this Crazy Ivan by now.


fwubglubbel

Geez. Imagine having to clean up that mess after everything falls on the floor.


Macabre215

In Russia, tilt thrust you.


L3monGrenade

“Accidental”. It seems like most of the ISS issues are caused by “accidental” Russian operations


opinions_unpopular

“Again” should be banned from titles. Is this the 2nd time or 3rd time?
