They actually did stupidly well considering how impoverished and inept at many things they were IIRC they had a einstein level genius scientist who contributed heaps.
I like how they just gave up on that one too. They could have landed a much bigger lander and put up a massive Soviet flag but rather than do that just just accepted American supremacy.
There were political issues inside of the Soviet moon program. I’m on mobile so I can’t link it, but look up a video called something like “Why the Soviets Didn’t Land on the Moon” by Curious Droid
Lol wat. Humanity? Fascists want themselves to succeed regardless of collateral damage, and they have a working strategy. Communists want humanity to succeed but have an unstable strategy that always ends up devolving into facsism.
If by themselves you mean humanity (in reference to fascism) and by succeed (in reference to communism) you mean live in cement huts with no hot water then I agree. I think we're on the same page here.
I've unironically heard someone say this. I mean sure she was like 60 and probably senile, but still. Her argument was that life was gonna develop on mars so we shouldn't touch it. This also applied to the sun and moon, for whatever reason.
Holy shit, this, combined with the "read Red Mars" makes me really hope no tankies get there because they would genuinely care about not destroying the precious landscape that is boring toxic plains of Mars
I see the Mars trilogy is the pop cultural reference for morons discussing space policy who normally need to reference Harry Potter to make their point
/u/CaptMackenzieCalhoun Are you saying that gulags were the greatest thing for the humanity? I mean they were(since mostly commies like yourself were sent there) but do you believe that yourself?
So if for example the Boeing CEO says that there's a good chance someone will die in a new airplane they've developed, they're actively murdering people for profit? What about cars? There isn't a car brand that hasn't had people injured in them. Trains? I guess the government is killing people for profit every time a train runs over someone.
The great thing about Musk is that to conservatives he's a shining beacon of capitalism, despite raking in tons of subsidies from the government, and to liberals he's a shining beacon of intellectualism, despite having invented nothing.

Everyone knows gulags are just McDonalds playplaces for adults. Horseshoe theory totally doesnt apply. Not at all. Nope.
1 Starship_Litterbox_B 2018-04-09
Fascism > communism tbh
I mean fuck both (I legit mean fuck both) but at least fascists want humanity to succeed. Can't say that for commies.

Is there a way I could possibly love you more? I honestly dont think so.

They won every milestone except landing on the moon.

1 MegaSeedsInYourBum 2018-04-09
The reason they didn't land on the moon was because they couldn't. Also there were no moonmen to
enslavespread communism too.1 wellimout 2018-04-09
What do mean? Their actual plan called for a smaller lander with only a single occupant.
1 zwiebelhans 2018-04-09
Stalin was by all accounts a very boring speaker, Lenin got the people involved not stalin. Hitler was at least able to really get a crowd going.

1 K-town- 2018-04-09
Yea Putin wants everybody to succeed. How could I be so blind? Thought you were trying to be objective but cement huts? Bye Felicia 👋
1 Starship_Litterbox_B 2018-04-09
Sorry, you're right. Cement is bourgeois. Paper and paste with bamboo shoots for reinforcement.
1 Leftist_Degenerate 2018-04-09
Tell us again the story about what Putin wants, Zackry.
1 K-town- 2018-04-09
Stop following me tho
1 Leftist_Degenerate 2018-04-09
Communists aren't human, ergo fascists want humanity to succeed.

I preferred this comment thread about how space exploration is colonialist because martian rocks are alive (I swear to God).

The Prime Directive?
1 LightUmbra 2018-04-09
I thought the prime directive was to bang hot alien chicks. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Do these people really not understand how consent works

The first Apollo astronauts died; but I'm sure that's okay because they were ordered there by a government.
1 OnlyRacistOnReddit 2018-04-09
It depends what government. Was it a benevolent one like the enlightened USSR, or was it the evil, racist, sexist west?
1 SuperiorExcess 2018-04-09
So if for example the Boeing CEO says that there's a good chance someone will die in a new airplane they've developed, they're actively murdering people for profit? What about cars? There isn't a car brand that hasn't had people injured in them. Trains? I guess the government is killing people for profit every time a train runs over someone.

1 VidiotGamer 2018-04-09
Well, I think he's an amazingly good capitalist. There's nothing in the capitalist handbook that says "refuse free money".
1 VidiotGamer 2018-04-09
So, basically this all comes down to them being salty that a capitalist, using capitalism, is likely to get beat everyone to Mars.
Honestly, I don't expect much from these guys, but man, what a way to be petty assholes.

I can't imagine Ronoke made any money on account of everyone fucking disappearing and dying.
1 zwiebelhans 2018-04-09
LoL as always. The "open minded" leftists at work.
1 TheRealTrueDarkLord 2018-04-09
Yeah, Communists would never sacrifice human lives, unlike those dirty Capitalists, right?
