NASA had its own problems landing probes on the moon in the 60s. It was pretty nuts to try it with people only a few years later.

>How did Russia go from winning the Space Race to this?

Mostly two reasons:

-Going to the Moon is more difficult than our previous selves have lead the public to believe...Or maybe we were just smarter. At any rate: nations have blown tons of shit up in the past in their attempts at going to the moon. This isn't too abnormal.
It maybe hurts a little more than usual due to India having a better launch.

-Russia is apparently one of the top three most economically sanctioned country on the planet at the moment due to their "special military project" in Ukraine and is actively being denied technology and tech support by every nation wot doesn't like them doing that. It's already super difficult to get to the Moon at your best, I can't imagine it's any easier using parts scrapped from stolen appliances and Chinese microchips.

It couldn't be repeated so it never happened.
Research must be peer reviewed and reproducible.

the moon landing was neither peer reviewed, nor reproducible

>> No.15682756

That's retarded and is also not the definition of peer review.

Those missions were fake AF.

Biggest issue is their last successful probe was launched in 82 and all of the people involved are dead or retired so their ground crew was 100% rookies with no experience operating outside of earth orbit.

>> No.15683761

>>15680768
Alot of their "firsts" aren't what they seem. Their first spacewalk preceded the Americans by a short time and by their second the Americans had four spacewalk. There was a six year gap between Voskhod and the first Soyuz. Mir had many problems. They never sent a probe to the outer solar system. Roscosmos is all hat and no cattle.

That did what? Sputnik? There was never any Russian "space exploration" beyond shooting literal monkeys into space. Are you cunts all high or what?

The big difference is the Soviets kind of tapped out in the 70s but ESA and NASA continued forward progress.
