    It's probably as good as anything else Russia's government has produced in the last 10 years.

    Kinda rude.... Russia has maintained her space program, despite the inability of the government to afford it. We have cut the living shit outta ours also, and Nasa hasn't been having such a great time with it. Mars?

    Russia should be commended for trying a cool idea. reusing ICBM's and creating cheap spacecraft seems like a good idea...Too bad
