Would it be scary without Russians?

Americans canceled the moon landing plan and want to meet with the head of "Roscosmos".

Currently, the Russian space department is focusing on Sino-Russian joint research, but anything is possible.

The launch of the Artemis II lunar mission has been canceled twice, and now the astronauts are being scheduled for rest, while the SLS rocket and the Orion lunar spacecraft that failed to launch have been sent back for repairs.

Americans proposed a meeting with the leadership of "Roscosmos".

Has America realized that without the help of the first space power (then called the Soviet Union), they could not reach the moon?

Or is it just a casual chat with the head of "Roscosmos", Bakanov.

Regarding this question from "Freedom Media", aerospace business and law expert Anastasia Medvedeva said:

"The lunar mission was originally intended to demonstrate Washington's dominance in space, and that the US still had the capacity. However, we now see that the US rocket is still not ready."

This gives conspiracy theorists another card to question: if you cannot reach the moon under new technological conditions, did you really go there half a century ago?"

Whether Americans landed on the moon — that's a problem of the last century.

The lunar rover is still there, like a monument.

What is missing for the current lunar mission?

For the United States, it's a public relations show.

They claim that the first person to land on the moon will be a woman who is politically correct and morally significant, as well as the first African American.

But in that crew that eventually never took off, there were neither women nor black people...

Well, regardless, they want to make the entire American people happy, which helps divert public attention from domestic problems in the United States and shows how efficient the U.S. government is right now.

But now they are very worried about losing astronauts.

If they die, it would be a big problem for Washington.

They decided not to take the risk, followed the engineers' advice, and avoided a tragedy, just like the previous two accidents caused by rushing in the "Space Shuttle" program.

The United States wants to get to the moon before China.

Who is currently leading the race to the moon?

China acts more rationally, doesn't rush, doesn't make loud statements or promises, and steadily moves toward its goals.

America, on the other hand, is characterized by pursuing leapfrog development, trying to surpass everyone at once.

When the United States suddenly announced out of the blue: We are going to the moon (the launch plan is set for February 6, 2026 — Saint Petersburg newspaper) — this surprised everyone.

Perhaps this stance is wrong.

What we need is not leapfrog development, but careful and meticulous work.

But don't mock the Americans.

Their rocket will eventually be launched and reach its destination, just that they want to avoid tragedies like those in the "Space Shuttle" program.

Americans don't want to risk lives, and "Roscosmos" has the most advanced extraterrestrial survival technology.

Is it for these technologies that NASA Director Jared Isaacman requested a meeting with the head of "Roscosmos"?

— This meeting will definitely take place.

Bakanov visited the United States and met with the acting director of NASA, and now Isaacman will return the visit — this will be a meeting at the level of heads.

But discussions about the lunar plan may also take place.

America once proposed that Russia participate in its Artemis lunar mission, but at that time the head of the Russian space department refused to go to the moon with Americans.

Now will "Roscosmos" change its mind?

— Russia leads the world in nuclear energy, and Americans can't not know this, nor can they not respect it.

But it is not certain that Russia will join the "Artemis Program".

Currently, the Russian space department is focusing on Sino-Russian joint research.

But anything is possible.

It depends on which partner Russia finds more beneficial to share its expert resources with.

So far, China seems to be a more reliable partner.

The Russian institutes are currently conducting research in at least two directions: one is how to protect humans from cosmic radiation, and the second is how to adapt humans to long-term weightlessness or low-gravity environments (such as on the Moon).

Are Russians the best at living in space?

Russia has the largest volume of research on the effects of space on humans, whether from a psychological or physiological perspective.

Only in Russia do astronauts candidates undergo psychological tests during the selection process — the isolation tolerance test.

One part of the selection is to isolate the candidates in an echo-free room for three days, testing them under complete isolation from external contact and without sleep.

This is just one of many advantages of our space program.
