  1. Any bad news is good news when it comes to Russia!!

  3. So, I guess the cosmodrome staff can be now… ummm… *redeployed elsewhere*?

  7. So does this mean the Russians on the International Space Station are stuck?

  8. Fuck Russia. However, space exploration isn’t just for one nation. It’s for humanity, so in that respect this sucks.

  10. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians have launched a few Russians into space. We have seen the videos.

  11. russia is so ghetto lol but hey they have the nicest subway

  14. Well, good thing we have a safe reliable backup here in the states….

  15. They should lose the ability to enter Kazakhstan in the first place smh

  17. so they can’t send Putin to the moon anymore ? Perhaps Elon Musk should step in ….

  20. Probably cause someone stole all the nuts and bolts to sell.

  21. In Germany we say “Schadenfreude” – a feeling of joy from someone else’s failure

  22. Are they still using those ugly old rockets that have boosters leaning inward?

  24. I think that Ukraine might be able to help, they’ve launched quite a few people recently.

  25. With a bit of luck, this could be the last manned launch of the RF. I’m hoping this could be the starting point for the end.

  26. Just as well they didn’t launch a rocket it might have crashed into a block of flats

  28. isnt this in Kazakhstan? doesn’t make it better for russia

  31. Hmmmmm, such long lasting & unpredictable ramifications of starting an unnecessary war…..

    Hoping other unscrupulous dicktaters around the world are learning from Putin’s disastrous decision.

  32. Not true !!- I have seen many russian launches, aided by my donations and Ukrainian drones !. They are still able to get to space.

  34. Not during preparation. This collapsed during the launch. NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev launched there today.

  35. It wasnt during preparations, it happened after the launch. The crew docked to the ISS this morning

  36. Bad translation or something… they successfully launched two Russian cosmonauts and one NASA astronaut today on a Soyuz MS-28, the damage happened as a result of the launch, not in preparation. Repairs could take up to two years.
