Energia Reveals New Russian Spacecraft
colonist writes "Russian space officials unveiled a full-scale model of the Kliper spaceship. If funding is provided, Kliper will replace the Soyuz space capsule as Russia's human space vehicle. The spaceship, designed by RKK Energia, is twice the size of the Soyuz and will carry a crew of six. It has two main parts: a reusable re-entry craft with a lifting body design, and an orbital module. Like the Soyuz, it has a rocket to pull the spaceship away from the launch vehicle in an emergency. See this photo gallery, Encyclopedia Astronautica and RussianSpaceWeb.com."
How come Michael Simms didn't kill himself as promised when Kerry lost the election? Will someone please put him out of his misery.
Yeah, but how come Michael Simms didn't kill himself, as promised, after Kerry lost the election?
By the way, the Euro-peons haven't even put a man into space, and Beagle was a disaster, so how exactly is our space program stagnating?
Well we have free healthcare for all ;)

In Soviet Russia Spacecraft reveal New Energia?
People has grown up.
And only in Korea old people make jokes about Soviet Russia...
In Soviet Russia, Energia reveals you!
Sorry this is bad all the way around.
The 'original' Firefox was russian! At least in the movies, then Clint Eastwood stole it.
because they think they have some say in US elections Yes, they have. The result of the US elections are felt all over the world, that's why almost everyone has an opinion about Ami politics. And many of the a ROTW-people (ROTW to you, because to me - here in Europe - you are the ROTW fellah) even have the power of affecting US politics - think of Russian "businessmen" paying for presidential campaigns or terrorists with well timed attacks.
Sig. under reconstruction.
And several MILLION from the burden of Saddam. But you don't want to hear about that , do you?
damaged by dogma
When AMERICANS run the rape rooms and torture chambers, it provides opportunities to shovel tax money into the private sector to pay for all those "contractors" and "advisors" from DynCorp, CACI, Titan, etc.

When the Iraqis did it, all American corporations got to do was sell them weapons...

Ahh, moral equivalence in action: US abuses at AbuG are just as bad as Saddam torturing/killing tens of thousands of his own people. Gimme a break
Saddam torturing/killing tens of thousands of his own people is despicable. Coalition forces killing tens of thousands of Iraqis, though, is what, exactly?
Worse, because they and Saddam posed no threat to us and we took actions that killed them needlessly?
Not so bad, because we're Right and our actions are Good no matter what happens?
The US was paying Iraq to fight that war after we lost control of Iran during the revolution. At the same time we where secerately selling weapons to Iran to fight Iraq. The blood is still clearly on the hands of America, we put Saddam is power to do this, we are in it all the way.
The fact we put Saddam in power, provide training and weapons to him is the only remotely justifible reason for the US army to be in Iraq today.
