what the fuck happened to that sailing spaceshit?

sounds like that fish slipped out of their hands! lol…

I certainly don’t feel any schadenfreude over this predicament. It’s worthy and important technology. It’s very sad that something went awry.

What is this pit about, anyway?

I think we should pit the idiots at the Russian space agency and the idiots who trust the idiots at the Russian space agency with important scientific research. Idiots.

This isn’t the first time this has happened.

This doesn’t belong in the Pit–no real rant here–but I can’t move it to another forum without making massive changes. ‘Massive’ because there’s not much commentary besides a link.

I’m locking this, rewindforward. Feel free to rework it as a thread elsewhere.
