Russia is reportedly planning to establish a nuclear power plant on the moon within the next decade.
This ambitious project aims to supply energy for its lunar space programme and a joint research station with China, as global powers intensify their efforts in lunar exploration.
Historically, Russia has held a prominent position in space, notably with Yuri Gagarin’s pioneering journey in 1961.
However, its dominance has waned in recent decades, with the nation now trailing behind the United States and, increasingly, China.
The country’s lunar aspirations faced a significant setback in August 2023 when its uncrewed Luna-25 mission crashed during a landing attempt.
Furthermore, the landscape of space launches, once a Russian speciality, has been revolutionised by figures such as Elon Musk, adding to the competitive pressure.
“Russia will take over Europe and America and we’ll have a base on the moon in just a short few years!”
I can see Ruzzkis are getting angry since the propaganda is slowly regressing back to how it was in WWII.
You’ll have to finish your little “special military operation” before you’re allowed to fail at another project. Ruahahahahah
Honestly, just collapse already.
Ukraine should attack Moscow with Blue and Yellow paint before their next round of negotiations so the people of Moscow can really see the weakness of the Kremlin Gremlin, and then if that round of negotiations fails to bring a peace agreement level the Kremlin. Most of the world would be fine with it at this point, I’d imagine.
LOL. I would be impressed to learn that Russia still has the ability to make a nuclear reactor on EARTH.
3 days meant 3 years.
So, a few years means a few centuries.
What do you mean? It’s been more than three years and they are less than 25% done
How the fuck they gonna get to the moon if they can’t get to Kiev?
The moon currently doesn’t have anti-rocket weapons systems. Kyiv does.
However Kyiv does have a breathable atmosphere so it probably equals out.
I’d love to know what their plan for cooling the reactor is. I suspect their pie in the sky pseudoplan has not bothered to take into account little things like thermodynamics
I’d crowd fund putting anti-rocket weapon systems on the moon. I bet we can beat Russia there.
Instead they’re gonna take over the new Kiev they build on the moon.
So am I.
You have an equally likely chance of making this happen.
Russia doesn’t even have any functioning launch pads for manned flights after the Baikonur Cosmodrome was damaged in November
Crewed or non-crewed even! They can’t even launch crewless Progress resupply vehicles to the ISS right now.
They have other launch platforms that can be used to reach the moon, but Baikonur is specifically suitable for reaching the very specific orbit of the ISS without a plane change manuver.
What they most specifically lack is access to modern hardened semiconductors. They are throwing all those at Ukraine.
They have one other launch site and it’s not fully functional.
One other, Vostochniy, which is also not exactly doing great
No, they don’t
The big claims are quite similar to the big lies.
No shit look at the user profile :DD
They plan
My plan is this orgy with Anna Kendrick (if I can pull her, wife might say yes) on the moon
Can I join? We’ll have to invite Aya cash too of course.
Everyone can join, still in the planning phase
So we’re getting moon Nazis before GTA6
IronSky future
No, we’re getting exploded nuclear material in the atmosphere before GTA 6.
I want a new gameshow where two contestants say the most unbelievable shit to each other until the other has no retort. First episode is Trump and Putin.
It’s nice to hear crazy statements from a dictator other than trump
In the next few years?! Lol. That’s Elon Musk batshit crazy.
It’ll be the US and China going to the moon, most likely, in the next decade or so.
India and Japan also have aspirations.
They can’t even afford to make their own space station, and are planning to reuse their chunk of the ISS despite it being leaky AF and full of bacteria they can’t control. How TF do they plan to land cosmonauts on the moon with a nuclear reactor when they’re so broke they can’t even be bothered to renew an orbital lab?
Seems a bit ambitious for a country that has yet to even land successfully on the moon.
