LOL yeah, and Ukraine was going to fall in 3 days.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sadly, most of the skilled workers needed for this project were pressed into military service, and got blown up in Ukraine.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or sent to prison for collaborating, like that scientist who worked on commercial hypersonic airplanes.

[–] Aux@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Or just packed their shit and ran away as far as they could. A lot of great IT professionals I know started leaving Russia after 2014. After 2022 literally everyone I know left Russia. Putin has fucked Russia real hard...

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

So they plan to invade whatever station is up there at that time and try to claim as their own?

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Nice aim. Also nice aim to take Ukraine in 3 days. I aim to be successful in 2027 but we all know I'm going to continue to be sad, alone and a faillure.

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

And Ukraine will pay for the launch!

(It's going to be a tank turret)

[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Best we can do is Russian ground station.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 3 points 2 years ago

Established a planetary station on earth.

[–] Sylver@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hahahaha…… oh wait, he’s serious..?

[–] perviouslyiner@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

"let me laugh even harder!"

He plans on Putin it up there.

That'll be the day tank turrets can fly... oh wait...

[–] magnetosphere@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah, good luck with that.

[–] Inmate@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Or someone could just colorize and upscale that photo of Komarov's charred corpse and call it a day before anyone gets hurt

[–] ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Something tells me Putin won't be around anymore by 2027...

[–] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah. Planting the trees who's shade he'll never enjoy.

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

More like "election coming up soon, need to look like a strong, innovative leader of a successful country"

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does he have enough money for that? Or might he expect to be rich as soon as he plunders the war torn ukraine.

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's not the question of money as much as ban on high tech stuff.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How many holes will it have?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Regardless of how many holes, I'm sure they will still be round, and we'll still be trying to put square-shaped astronauts through them.

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

From where will it all launch? Where does the technology come from if they still cannot produce in house? Who will pay?

Is he going to β€œinvade” a Chinese station and call it a victory?

[–] TerminalViscosity@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just imagine the size of the crater it will leave on the moon.

[–] Muffi@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Missing the target by a distance roughly equal to the combined diameter of all planets in our solar system would be very on brand for Russian tech.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope he is man enough and files on the inaugural mission

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, kind of poor statement considering track record of Soyuz.

[–] Talaraine@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Heheh they'll need a full complement of crew to do nothing but stick their fingers in leaks.

[–] tryplot@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

that's assuming he still has a country in 2027

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

That's assuming Putin is still alive in 2027.

[–] BaroqueInMind@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Rewrote the headline to predict what actually will happen: Putin's final living order before he committed suicide due to shame of losing in Ukraine aims to have Russian space debris & cosmonaut corpses in decaying orbit by 2027

They’re gonna need to steal a looooot of washing machines
