Quick, blame the west!
Hexbear: ITS THE LIBS FAULT
I made the mistake of replying to a comment on hexbear that was erroneously claiming Ukraine started the war, dudes are absolutely deranged.
I too fucked up with that. Got obliterated, dogpiled, my wording sliced apart to catch any out I didn't perfectly cover, and pretty sure banned, so honestly I think I found a good way to defederate from a whole instance, at the user level lol
Yes, it was me. I did it.
The west
On one side I'm saddened by the scientific loss. But I'm also a bit relieved that the vatniks don't get to use it for propaganda purposes.
For those wondering, and who didn't read the article:
It’s not yet clear if the issue will prevent the lunar lander, which was slated to land near the moon’s south pole as soon as Monday, from attempting a touchdown.
Well it did and it crashed into the moon surface instead it seems
The Russian Lander approches the lunar surface. Pieces of it are rattling and shaking as it makes it way in. Huge chunks of paint have fallen off, revealing the skin of a Lebedenko Tank underneath and a Jerry-rigged Ukrainian toilet
Russian Government: " We have lost contact with the greatest lander ever made. This is obviously the handmarks of Westren jealousy."
Looks like the Roscosmos personnel will be taking a company vacation to Ukraine
Putin be failing at Kerbal Space Program now
No fan of Russian leaders but their engineers are great. Hope they can figure out the issue and avoid the political drama.
The onboard computer just had a little smoking accident, nothing to worry about.
Rapid Unplanned Disassembly, Comrade
Lithobraking manoeuvre performed successfully.
I have to rescue Jeb again?
This moon aggressor is starting to make the administration look bad! It better be careful around any nearby windows...
Time to send poorly equipped conscripts to de-Nazify the moon.
Vlad has a very low accuracy at identifying Nazis, he's the one sending them.
Man thinks Iron Sky was a documentary
Be interesting to see if they can sort it out prior to landing or what
But Putin was assured everything will go smoothly!
It wasn't the same exact issue Apollo 11 had, was it? I sure would hope everyone learned from the mistakes of the past.
that government can't get anything to work. they should invest some research points on meritocracy if they want to advance before Ghandi nukes them.
They already spent all the points on corruption.
ITT: libs breathing a sigh of relief that they can mock their racial enemy for something accurately for once in the last 2 years
I wander what 'emergency situation' is a euphemism for this time...
