Yeah, they need the money for something else...

There were 17 launches in 2020

https://www.roscosmos.ru/launch/2024/

Oh, 17. In 1982, the USSR did 108 launches. In 2023, Russia did still 20. The low point was Rona-2020 with just 15 launches.

Meanwhile, the USA work on speeding up the Kessler syndrome, with 156 launches and two (partial) failures. 260 launches in 2024, a new historic record.

Could I see it from here??? The ground track is only 500 km away at its closest point.

My guess is yes, but it would need to be generating enough plasma for that, as the Sun is way below the horizon.

Its damn cloudy in the west anyway, just checked. No chance to see something until it drops on our head.

MHO, this move is another rearranging of chairs on a deck of the Titanic. Space program survived previous phase of the Russian Empire disintegration thanks to cooperation with the West. By now, Putin flashed Russia's reputation down the drain, so there is no another chance.

USAID will never allocate money for such nonsense again

Why did Putin fire Russia's space chief?

The head of Roscosmos was replaced because rockets are mostly made by women Bakanov is more beautiful
