How anyone could think highly of Stalin, that one is beyond me. Jesus. Even if you actually were a communist/marxist-leninist, you should hate the guy for perverting and destroying absolutely everything worthwhile in the ideology, for his own personal megalomania.

Yikes.

what would you ask them?
The technology of that era was very poor - i want to know more about the calculation, the deliberation, plus why none of astronauts became ill with radiation sickness, they've used lightweight spacesuits to go to the Moon but even now they use heaveweight spacesuits just to go to the orbital station because to chill it you have to use around 4-5l of water, while their lightweight suits used only 1l of water, how it's possible?! it doesn't make any sense, the apollo ships - their technology is still under top secret gryph, from what i know around 11 astronausts died in the 1967, never before or after the USA lost the same amount of astronauts in 1 year:
27 January 1967; Apollo 1 - Astronauts Roger Chaffee, Virgil Grissom (Mercury 4 and Gemini 3), and Edward White (Gemini 4) were killed at Cape Kennedy during a training exercise for the Apollo 1 mission. The crew died as a result of a fire within the spacecraft cabin.
6 June 1967 - Edward Givens was killed in an automobile accident near Houston, TX.
5 October 1967 - Clifton Williams was killed in the crash of a T-38 near Tallahassee, FL.
15 November 1967 X-15 - Michael J. Adams was killed after the vehicle departed from controlled flight and experienced an inflight breakup. Adams, who was also a USAF astronaut candidate for the Manned Orbiting Laboratory program, was posthumously awarded the USAF Astronaut Badge because the accident flight exceeded 50 miles (80 km) in altitude.
While the current incarnation of the Astronaut Badge is awarded by NASA and US military organizations for flights above 100 km (the internationally recognized boundary of space), at the time of Adam's crash, NASA and the USAF awarded the badge for flights above 50 miles. Six other X-15 pilots besides Adams qualified for the Astronaut Badge for reaching altitudes between 50 miles and 100 km. One X-15 pilot, Joe Walker flew higher than 100 km in the X-15 on two occasions in 1963, making him the first person to fly into space twice.The X-15 program was jointly managed by NASA and USAF
8 December 1967 - Robert H. Lawrence, Jr. was killed in the crash of F-104 Starfighter at Edwards AFB, CA. He was killed in a training flight where he was acting as an instructor pilot where the aircraft was simulating a steep glide technique of the type that was later used for the Space Shuttle. At the time of his death, he was a USAF astronaut candidate in the Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) program, which had planned to use small space stations as reconnaissance platforms. That program was cancelled in 1969, and seven of the MOL eventually flew on the Space Shuttle.
Of course, you can call it "conjuncture", but you can't deny that it's strange

Some morons will tell you that im jealous, ofc it's not truth, we were first in everything except "visiting the moon", and i'll be the first who'll congratulate north-americans when Musk will put us on the Mars, because i want to see how humanity will open new worlds and i don't care who it will be - americans, africans or chinese

Russian history > American
it's not even a contest

at least we are not immigrants who slaved poor indians for nothing and we never had slaveholders
That's not true, don't lie just to make an argument.

USSR has lost probably trillion of a dollars on bad investments, commies idea to spend billions and billions to distribute the ideas of marcism and leninism around the world was dumb
Unfortunately it worked out.

Yeah, fuck all the real astrophysicists that tell you how they did it and how a hoax would have been a thousand times more difficult to pull off. Lets believe in the fringe thinkers with a book to sell who can't even get tenure at shit schools and conspiracy nuts.

Yep. I mean you could argue that the extent of how horrible he and his regime were was overblown a bit to fit political agendas, but there can be no doubt about the general asessment of his persona and tenure.

There's arguably not a single country with a communist system around anymore, they've all at best got a more or less strange hybrid system.

I'd say North Korea is still a totalitarian Stalinist communist state. Those hybrid countries however have kept some of the worst aspects of the Soviet system, no freedom of speech, no free elections, immense bureaucratic corruption.

I would be willing to sacrifice Chiellini for the rest of the season if it meant I'll see Icardi getting stomped multiple times on the face by Giorgio.
