Soyuz To The Moon?

Posted by timothy on from the alice-ducks dept.

colonist writes "The Americans won the first race, but the Russians might beat them back to the moon. The reliable Soyuz, currently the only means of transport to the International Space Station, may send tourists on a voyage around the moon (gallery of illustrations). Constellation Services International's plans call for the Soyuz spacecraft to dock with a logistics module and an upper stage. The upper stage fires to send the Soyuz on a free-return circumlunar trajectory."

      Look on the bright side...503 errors don't count towards your advert-free pages. :)

      Has this been going on all weekend, or did it start this morning?

      I think it's an omen.

      Mabye, SERVER, praise be, wants all the slashdot geeks to actually get some work done. Is there a project that requires dire help recently that anyone knows about? I just started my project wool clock folding@home team but that is not nearly the scope that I'm thinking is necessary. Does SCO need to be destroyed, do we need a filesystem to compete with Microsoft? Post under this thread, what you think the MOST important thing you ccould be doing, other than reading slashdot is, specifically geeky things. on topic: mabye the X prize teams needs some last minute help?, or mabye we need to design a moon base?

  5. News that Slashdot won't report--Doom 3 pirated by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Doom 3 has been massively pirated this weekend, at record highs. Apparently, it's shaping up to be one of the most pirated games ever. Estimates are that id Software has lost up to 2 million dollars. Activision isn't saying anything at this point. Gamespot and the BBC both have articles on the news. The PC Gamer editor has some words for the pirates in the BBC article. This setback is set to cost Activision and id Software millions.

      everything is massively pirated.. go to suprnova.org and you can dl it.. its not like this is new or that its more than normal for doom3.. plus the download is 1.5gig+.. larger than most games people download so it might turn some people off who will just go out and buy it.. and then theres the crazy hardware reqs.. while i dont doubt its being pirated like crazy, i dont think its any major news or that it was unexpected.

      There is no way to know how much they lose. They usually try to add the retail price of all the pirated copies but :

      - The people that have pirated them would not necessary have bought the game
      - If they did, they could have waited until the price droped
      - How do you count how much pirated copies exist anyway ?

      I'm not saying that they don't suffer huge lost because of this however.

    I just love how this topic is spawning such love for the good old USSR, and is turning into yet another USA bashing competition. News flash, the USSR was an evil country. It was run by people who murdered millions of its own people with out even flinching. If the USSR was such a great country and the USA sucked so badly, why is the USSR gone and the USA still here?

      Because the USA is a nation of obese cunts, who -- locust like -- are consuming the rest of the planet to feed their unrequitable greed.
