Special Moon Landing Operation Success
You're viewing a single thread.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the very real possibility that the Soviet space program of the 50s would have been able to land a lunar probe better than the current Russian program?
(Obligatory /s, space is hard and shit goes wrong sometimes)
Space is hard.
The Moon surface is harder.
Sorry.

They don't call it hard vacuum for nothing
In USSR there were 16 successful and 17 unsuccessful missions to moon Yes it hard, its a rocket science
Well, the Soviet space program of the 70s did put landers on the moon.
Forget the moon, the USSR put probes on Venus (the Venera missions).
In Soviet Russia the space probe IS the surface of the moon!
50s ussr was driven by personal ambition for position in a totalitarian society. No ambition is allowed in Russia now
