Russia moonshot??

RT UK reports /. Russia plans to place cosmonauts on the moon
this October??
Video shows new vehicle being prepared for the journey which
Looks big enough to carry a couple of crew!!
Russia have the advantage of having the "international" space
station at their disposal to act as a launch base for the attempt !
So things hotting up in space again it seems!

Re: Russia moonshot??

I can't see the ISS being stable enough to act as a launch platform.

Re: Russia moonshot??

No doubt they'll be giving Alexey Navalny a one-way ticket!

Re: Russia moonshot??

I would imagine you need very little thrust when up in space PooBear, isn't that how they can generate very high speeds.
And there would be no push back like the recoil of a rifle fired on earth. No gravity, no resistance from the air pushing against you, and no 15lbs per square inch acting on the force of propulsion...Just guessing really....

I hope they land on our side so it will give us something interesting to look at through the telescope...
Now this is something that I do find exciting, and good luck to them...
All that 'Nuon' stuff is bullicks!

Re: Russia moonshot??

Don't you mean " nuonsense " OGF ??
BTW Good job you said you are guessing about roccits coz wot
Yoo sed abt pushin the air n all dat air pressure stuff woz crap!!
I fort you wuz a man av science like wot l am ??

Donkeyman! 👍👍😀😀👍👍

Re: Russia moonshot??

It doesn't have to be Pooh Bear??
Once your up there , the world ( and moons) your oyster as they
say??
If you farted in space, you would keep accelerating untill you stopped
farting ?
And you wouldn't slow down untill you farted in reverse !!
That's the best way l can describe Newton's law ??

Donkeyman! 🤔🤔

Re: Russia moonshot??

I look forward for your explanation of why my theory is wrong Donkeyman.....

Re: Russia moonshot??

And why would that be Donkeyman? Could it possibly be because there is no air pressure or gravity, or wind resistance? Do you think it could be because it's a vacuum?......

Re: Russia moonshot??

Nah, only partly,
The frust av a rokkit motor comes from there bein n openin at wun
side at da combuschun chamber which lets the explosion ov da
fuel escape at dat side !
dis Meenz dat Der is no presha at dat end,but Der is still presha at
de. uvva end !!Youse still wiv me ??
To continue, dis creates an imbalance in da presha in da combushton
chamber an dis means Der is presha pushin one way, but FA in de
uvva way, dis is called frust !!
And is known as NEWTONS FIRST LAW OF MOTION !!
Which is described by. : EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUAL AND
OPPOSITE REACTION !!
Ope dat cleared things up for yer. ??

Donkeyman! 👍🤔🤔👍. Ave Ter do summink abart da spell check !!

Re: Russia moonshot??

It looks like the yanks are going to be too late getting back too the
moon unless the cosmonauts make a cock up in October ??
What if the ruskies: remove the stars and stripes from moons surface
when they get there ??
Will it cause the first diplomatic incident in space ??
