I was recently looking at this picture on NASA.com
http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/502291main_201011260002HQ-full_full.jpg
It got me thinking, Spaceflight begs to be advanced, advanced computers, hardware all that hooharr. This is also no offense to our Russian Orbitnuts and such but is the RSA outdated in its flights.
For example the almost telephone booth sized compartments, the dry land landings.
Is this all done becuase Russia is a little rough around the edges or they dont have governmental backing (but which space agency does?:lol
Also back to that picture another question. Back when the Soviets when into space they had no choice to land inside the Soviet Union, but now that everyone hates another country :lol: (cough* North Korea cough*) is there any reason to still land so harshley across the road from no where?
