AldrichAmes: This is laughable when Russia runs the space station and every other country needs Russia to get to space right now.
This was the US’ last attempt:
SpaceX rocket to space station explodes after launch
Incident marks third recent failure to carry supplies to orbiting laboratory.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying more than 1,800 kilograms of supplies to the International Space Station (ISS) broke up shortly after lift-off on 28 June at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
This is the third supply mission to the space station that has failed since late October, when an Antares rocket made by Orbital Sciences (now Orbital ATK) in Dulles, Virginia, exploded during launch at NASA's facility in Wallops Island, Virginia.
It looks like a Russian satellite that was supposed to be deployed from the Angara-1 rocket doesn’t actually work and will just sort of… fall back to Earth.
After the fall of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1991, Russia began building the Angara rocket family to beef up its space program, Roscosmos. Its maiden voyage took place in 2014, according to the Moscow Times, and the latest test launched in April. Space journalist Anatoly Zak said online yesterday, though, that the classified payload Angara was supposed to deliver to orbit wasn’t working.
“A classified payload, delivered into orbit in the first launch of the Angara-1 rocket last month, appears to be inactive and will fall back to Earth without maneuvers,” Zak, who writes for Russian Space Web, said on Twitter.
A report published on the space news site yesterday said the payload, a military satellite, was never activated.
World War Z This isn’t the first time Russia publicly bungled a mission but this particular rocket had “Z” emblazoned on its side, according to Spaceflight Now — which is pretty ironic. The symbol generally means support for the invasion of Ukraine and was painted on the payload by ground crew. Now, that payload will fall back to Earth without being used, and a top space journalist even mocked Roscosmos head Dimitry Rogozin for his latest embarrassment.
Maybe Putin’s space program would run a little smoother if he wasn’t so focused on killing innocent Ukrainian citizens. The Russian president apparently wants to make it back to the Moon soon, but we’ll believe it when we see it.
successcard: You can take the words of a blogger as truth, if you prefer to do so. I can clearly predict your lines of baseless arguments to cover the terrible things some people from your country are doing against humanity.
It's just too sad that a student lost her life over a WhatsApp chat, which some others who think they are bigger than life deemed as blasphemy.
Such wickedness!
Which line of what blogger am I taking as the truth?
Do you want me to expose one of your most famous fetish priestesses in Ghana who is now masquerading as a preacher of the Gospel?
successcard: If the Ghana Police arrest its own personnel who are suspected to have aided in the robbery, then it tells you that our institutions are working, and that the rule of law reigns supreme. I think such occurrence might be rare in your country.
Notwithstanding that, your people here are tarnishing your image big time.
Your Sakawa boys killed this lady and cut off her private part.
successcard: I would prefer not to argue with you. You can choose to believe in your wildest dreams that Nigerians are not perpetrating serious crimes here.
successcard: These acts were not common in the past, here in Ghana. It is based on the influence of some "bad Nigerians" in our country. Don't get me wrong -- I do not seek to blame all Nigerians for this -- I'm just letting you know that some people are tarnishing the image of your country here in Ghana.
If you live in Ghana, you would notice that many of the social vices are perpetrated by these bad people from Nigeria, sometimes with the help of Ghanaians they have influenced.
Statistics show that over 90% of prostitutes + hookup girls in Ghana are from Nigeria (this is an open secret). Please, if you have any sister who claims to have migrated to Ghana and qualification for a white collar job, please check on them and find out what they are really doing here. Most of such women are into prostitution + hookup.
Somewhere last year, we had a number of day light robbery cases in Accra, which has never been the case here. Some of them were caught and arrested. Guess what?! Most of them were Nigerians.
Same for ritual killings here... I'm sure by now you know about the killing of the Takoradi girls by some Nigerians.
And talk about Internet fraud, a lot of them are hiding here, and doing that. And they always get arrested.
This is incredibly bad. These people are tarnishing the image of your country. And some Ghanaians are getting really impatient with Nigerians these days...
[/s]
This is just plain stupid coming from you.
Is it not same Ghana that go live on TV to advertise their juju and money rituals?
Is it not same Ghana that goes live on radio to do same?
Is it not same Ghana who have posters everywhere advertising same?
Ghanaians are very big fraudsters with their sakawa boys.
A lot of the bad happenings in Ghana are being underreported because the government there is trying to protect their tourism department because the country heavily depends on tourism to stay afloat.
Even the policemen who were recently arrested in Ghana for bullion van armed robbery were they Nigerians or Ghanaians?
wolesmile: If you are very familiar with Ghana, you'll know they practice whichcraft/ritual even more than Nigerians. I have met Ghanaians that boast their charms are more potent than those of Nigerian medicine-men. I think they had to go and re-strategize when they realize Nigeria is taking the lead in private part harvesting and skull mining. They always want to out-do us. Let them take the lead, biko. We've had enough of heartbreaking news!!!
Zonefree: Stop deceiving yourself. Putin is only putting Ukraine in checks not like he's at war with them. Russia will turn Ukraine to rubbles in 24 hours if Putin declare war on them.
Putin is a perfect gentleman. He deserves Times Man of year award for his gentility and humility.
After the heavy fighting between the Ukrainian forces and the Russian forces in Kharkiv which forced the Russian forces out of Kharkiv, here is the video of Pro russian LNR and DNR fighters stuck at the border crossing to Russia after their retreat from northern rural Kharkiv.
They complain that they are stuck there after their fast retreat from Kharkiv but they are not being allowed or given permission to cross into Russia to avoid being killed
ocelot2006: Bros, I would've told you to book a basic geography class on map reading, but that will be a waste as the very basics are CLEARLY beyond your comprehension. The baffling thing of all these is that you post maps in a bid to look "smart" but the same maps totally contradicts the outright garbage/bunkum (using your own word). Chief, your level of ignorance and outright stupidity is so mind boggling, it gives me a headache. Abeg, go and engage with goats.
Lmao
Oga take your own advice because it's apparent you and map reading are enemies for life.
Your level of ignorance and outright stupidity is in your DNA profile bro.
You should go and engage your fellow Putin goats because they are clearly the ones who share your kind of DNA profile of stupidity
It is your life that lies torments!!! Which izyum?? The izyum that they lost a plane yesterday?? Oboy u be born liar oo
You lie so good that you now believe in the lies you tell yourself!!
So Ukraine lost 3 aircraft after Russia claimed they destroyed all of Ukraine's Airforce at the start of the war
Una no dey tire to lie and spread falsehood?
The real Intel was that Ukraine destroyed 2 helicopters (Ka-52, Mi-28), 7 drones and 2 cruise missiles and also dealt a crushing blow to the crossing of the Russians across the Inhulets River.
DerrickzB: I post about it when I am chanced!! If you are on telegram search for intel Slava Z for proper updates!! Updates with picture abd videos to prove points!! Not mere write ups of lies
He should search for a Russian propaganda telegram channel to get "proper and truthful" information from
A telegram Channel called Intel Slava Z. Slava Z which means (Glory to Russia)
infogeneral: Ukrainian forces are doing a good job. NATO is winning. Finland and Sweeden are coming on board. Mr Putin will have to learn his lesson the hard way that dialogue is better than force bad it's better to make more friends than to accumulate more enemies.
Exactly. It is even more stupid to think that those who ran away and separated from you when you were Soviet Union would want to somehow remain friends with you when you constantly bully and threaten them
alabo1: Keep deceiving yourselfs. By September this year when winter set your eyes will clear. Why is the coverage on this war so one sided? Only Russian troops dying. Only Russian soldiers dying. Okay Russia is doing nothing. They are losing everything. Yet the war continues. You Western Zombies don't think for yourselves. You only spout Western rhetoric why the war in the first place? Read. Think. Understand.
Keep deceiving yourselves. By August this year your eyes will clear.
Russia is winning, Russia is winning, yet the capture of Ukraine they said would take 72hrs is in its 82nd Day (almost 3 months)
Only Ukrainian troops are dying. Okay Ukraine is doing nothing. They are losing everyday yet the war continues.
You Putin Zombies don't think for yourselves. You only Spout Kremlin rhetoric. Read, Think for yourself and understand.
ocelot2006: Oga, STOP POSTING MAPS IF YOU CANNOT READ THEM. Haba! Russia has abandoned Dontesk to Izyum?? WTF?? First of all Izyum is even the major Russian hammer coming down from the North. Also, the Russians have not abandoned anything in the Donbass front. They've CERTAINLY not abandoned the ops in Donetsk. They've simply created a smaller and more realistic cauldron aimed at trapping some of the most experienced Ukrainian units in if they still choose their suicidal "hold your ground" tactics. If you bothered to even read my previous posts, you would've have seen where I posted that the Russians have reached the administrative line of Luhansk and are swinging up north towards Kramatorsk. At this point your prayer should be that Ukrainian forces in the cauldron beat a hasty tactical retreat westwards before they're trapped and some of them are already begging for this online.
Finally, STOP LYING about the Ukrainians crossing the Donets river. I just said the Russians blew up their pontoon crossing late last week, yet you're yapping about Ukrainian "successful crossing"? That's if you're referring to dead floating bodies.
You will burst a blood vessel out of frustration ooo
It's clear you lack the ability to read maps.
Hint: focus on the areas encircled showing "significant fighting" and you will connect the dots.
You who did not even know that the inhulets Russian failed crossing was a second failure by Russia and totally different from the failed crossing in Bilohorivka
Ogbeni abeg getat and get better informed so you would stop constantly looking foolish
edosignature: There is no victory in war... Those who said Ukraine & Russia won or are wining lack truth & they will meet their Waterloo at the said time.
SayNo ToWar.
God bless mother Russia, God bless & protect Vladimir Putin.
When was the last time you said God should bless your parents and protect them?
ocelot2006: Oh I'm very aware of the failed Russian crossing. Even the Russians admitted their failed crossing. But before you jubilate as western media put that incident on repeat all week long (as usual), you may have overlooked a few things:
(1) Elements from the BTG involved survived. Losses were heavy though.
(2) The Russians were still able to cross THREE [3] BTGs across SAME Donets river.
The failed inhulets river crossing was yesterday so how did Western media put it on repeat all week long?
Do you see how ill informed Russian Telegram makes you people?
The first failed river crossing was in Bilohorivka, Luhansk region
This inhulets failed river crossing was in Kirovohrad Oblast
Do you see how stupid Russian media makes you lot look?
Benny6944: What have Russians gained so far from the war?
Can you tell us? Only with time they will be wipped off Ukraine
Zelen made it clear, he can never negotiate with Russia until they leave d entire country. now Russia are begging for negotiation which won't happen Incase you don't know, fin just announced joining NATO.
I thought your as$licking Rapi$t Russia Putin said he's gonna nuke them if such happens.. lol let's see how he does that.. oh now he now changed his coward mind that it will now matter on what infrastructure NATO builds in the border lol...
DerrickzB: Good morning child of hate, perdition and falsehood!! The izyum you said Ukraine has captured they are been whooped like a kid!! I wonder how you sleep and eat with lies running round in your mouth!! You said Ukraine is winning but see pictorial evidence that they are loosing badly!!! Try dey rest!!
Always post pictures to back up your claims and at least you could have some face here!!
Child of foolishness, perdition and falsehood let me give you breaking news
Russian forces have abandoned the objective of completing a large-scale encirclement of Ukrainian units from Donetsk City to Izium in favor of completing the seizure of Luhansk Oblast
Ukrainian forces have successfully crossed the Donesk river
Russian forces have likely run out of combat-ready reservists (still the lack of reinforcement issue)
Something will happen in Izium today and I will break the news here on nairaland...
