LostCosmonaut Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 There was some discussion on this around the water cooler at work a few weeks ago. It was pretty bad. Actual quotes; "Well, it's Russian, so that means it's going to be manned for half the trip." "It's probably just a copy of that one we tested in the 50s." "The Russians make really good rockets, if you don't care about dying." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW, first a water cooler, now you have floors and rooms AND indoor plumbing? Are you going to brag about your Rhodium plated exotic animal taxidermy collection next or something?

LostCosmonaut Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 For reference, Kiwi was using weapons grade fuel. So even a reactor using weapons grade fuel and deliberately exploded won't detonate like an atom bomb. Ralph Nader lied to you.
