US landed first in moon with holywood movies... No manned moon landing.. sorry.
No humans ever left the earth orbit.. Never in the history of science , Engineers send man
to a potential suicide mission without testing first and mastering the flight without them.

ABout space race being "Expensive" , is Not more expensive than the weapon race..
Russia defense industry spend $ 80
BILLIONS every year in weapons...
but in space program Russia only spend $4 Billions . While NASA spend $17 billions every year.

So is not a money problem.. is more a priority problem.. Russia waste a lot of money , in things
they don't need to defend their nation.. Everyone and their mother in Russia defense Industry
complained about the buy of 4 mystrals carriers.
Russia don't need mistrals.. Russia don't need Aircraft Carriers for what? To project what?
Russia don't need Amphibious warships.. who is Russia Going to invade? Russia don't fight outside their borders..
Russia government could easily get $10 to $15 billions in space budget.. if they just cut in their defense industry.. in things they dont need . to decommission all those rusty Soviets Big warships that are NOT NEEDED, and will pose no deterrence in any way to Americans and just keep a small but modern navy.. instead of a large but old one.. I can't see how useful will be for RUssia a large navy ,that will not be used at all..
in case of any war with NATO it will go nuclear and an any surface destroyer will not be used at all. any low tonnage warships ,with a few Onyks missiles will be enough.. Americans needs
a large navy because they invade /attack third world countries every year. . Russia invade no one.. they don't need a large navy. Is not going to help Russia protect their mother land.. neither will help in Ukraine conflict a large navy.. Russia Army and Airforce and land missile forces ,with Submarines will be more than Enough to defend Russian land ,they don't need 300+ warships.. to defend anything.. unless they have plans to fight a conventional war with NATO and have the wrong believe it will not end in nuclear war. Something they can do with their airforce ,submarines and land nuclear Missiles like Iskanders or TOpol.
With the cut in Russia space program ,Russia is giving up traveling to mars.. this is what the
Myopic president told.. that will leave Mars to americans.. and focus in the Moon.
IF Russia really wants to defend their Nation.. they need Full domination of SPACE.. is a simple as that. And this is what americans are doing. not stupid mystral warships or ice breakers or very large warship that are very vulnerable to Submarines or Combat jets or simple mines.
By dominating space completely , in unmaneed and manned missions..with their own space stations and space shuttles, Russia can effectively and very quickly switch their civilians space program to a military one..and deploy battle stations in space if Americans deploy weapons there..as they are already saying will do. Russia is really missing opportunities to take advantage of times like this ,where american space program is in problems..by cutting their
space budget.. instead balancing their weapon program.. and decommission things Russia dont
need for the defend of their territory.
Because Russia Project
NOTHING... and Defend directly
NO ONE far away of its territory. (look at Syria ,that only limits to supply weapons to them.) then what the fuzz of having a large navy with Big warships? for Penis contest? Russian S-400 and S-500 on Russian Borders and its airforce will be good enough for the job of defending their land..
Full spectrum Space Domination IS the only thing in the world that can give Russia
real peace of mind ,and a real nation defense..will allow Russia to to stop any ballistic missiles..
before it reach space.. and FAR away of Russian borders.. and this is a HUGE PLUS.. and if that wasn't good enough , it will significantly Boost Russia space civilian program and travel to Moon
and Mars.. not in the year 2035 or 5,000 .. .. but in 2020 like US and CHINA are planning ..
IF Russia reduce the spending on its Surface navy by 20% ,decomissioning old soviet warships and saving a lot in salaries to thousands of sailors..and increase by 20% their space budget..
then Russia will have enough for a really revolutionary Space Program.. And it will generate
many hundreds of THousands of Jobs and create an industrial revolution. All this without
reducing in any way the defense capabilities of Russia Federation.
Just look at Israel.. they don't have Aircraft carriers.. and just 5 submarines.. but who is going to dare to attack them from NATO ? and they do have an updated very capable BIG airforce ,that could make anyone in NATO or Russia to think 100x times to attack them. Neither Turkey have aircraft carriers and not a single destroyer.. But with lots of small capable and lethal coastal warships.. with cruise missiles and torpedos. all neccessary to defend their land. Who is going to invade or attack Turkey the second most powerful army in NATO? . Someone is really wrongly advice the Russian President.. what they are doing is dead wrong..making it easier for Americans to CUT Russia from space.. for being so myopic and not see how americans and others in NATO are testing many projects for the militarization of space.
Airforce defeats Navy.. and Land forces defeats airforce.. and simply formula that always work when you have powerful anti air defenses. and who control space ,controls everything under it.
NATO cannot fly over Russia.. and NATO warships cannot get either close because Russia airforce will wipe them.. who needs a navy for defending your land? when you have a long range powerful airforce?
Russia defense industry should focus in Army and airforce and missile forces.. and not waste money is floating coffins destroyers with very short range weapons or very large navy with big warships. Russia is not America that can afford to project power far away of its land.. .and should focus on its nation territorial defense and only that. and not into sending warships far away of its lands..
