Russia on Sunday
began investigating the loss of a commercial satellite and a separate glitch on
the International Space Station, sparking fears over the industry's safety. A commission to
investigate the accident with the Proton-M rocket carrying a Mexican
telecommunications satellite met Sunday morning, the TASS state news agency
reported, citing a space industry source…….But experts say years of
underfunding mean there is a shortage in new generation specialists to replace
those recruited in the Soviet era. "The
best of the best do not go to work in the rocket and space sector. There is
nothing to attract highly qualified specialists: the pay is low and it's not
very prestigious to work there," …..To Read More….
My Take – It’s the same old story with the Russians,
whether they’re Soviets or not. Khrushchev claimed – falsely –they
could produce rockets like sausages to scare the U.S. He did it and he was
lying. The Russian hierarchy is now and has always been full of blowhards, and
the west is now and has always been full of appeasers and collaborators. Putin and his
international shenanigans and Obama’s response are part and parcel of that same
clabber. Russia suffers from the same economic incompetence that collapsed the
Soviet Union - they're broke! Their military is full of alcoholics, the general
population decreases every year and alcoholism is rampant, the Navy is full of
rust buckets and I have trouble believing their air force is much better
overall. And there are those who insist the west bail out Greece for fear Putin will bail out Greece. Dumb as dirt! That would be a positive thing for western capitalism. That way they could collapse together, and be a great big happy socialist family. Broke, clueless and harmless.
Here's another quote by Khrushchev, only this one wasn't a lie: "Your children’s children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up & find that you already have communism. We won’t ever have to fight you; we’ll weaken your economy until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands."
