respectful cooperation is everything.

Here again we see proof that engineers and scientists should never be disrespected or considered weak or inferior based solely on their country of origin. The former Soviet Union, and today's Russia, span a vast area with a wide variety of climates, resulting in a very wide range of varying stress levels upon machines -- which arise from the climate differences. This means that, generally, the larger and more significant former Soviet machines are required to be robust enough to operate in any climate. Although there are exceptions -- and the exceptions have often been known to be related to corruption -- still, many machines from the former Soviet Union are made tougher and more resilient than their Western equivalents. Military helicopters are just one example. Given the limited transport infrastructure available to assist those in distress compared to that of the West, former Soviet doctrine tends to assume that a malfunction of machinery will be likely to lead to an immense cascade of problems, resulting in delays, injuries, and even fatalities, particularly given the frequent presence of extremely cold natural environments. The environment can often be so cold that metal breaks, having become too brittle. Another interesting aspect of former Soviet engineering is that during the Cold War, the Soviets produced many more different kinds of submarines than the Americans over the same time period. While the Americans might have evaluated an idea for a submarine design as a study and then stopped, the Soviets tended to invest enormous resources to build any new kind of submarine as long as they believed it might give them some sort of advantage over their adversaries. A key psychological factor is the extreme institutionalized fear of a surprise attack, something ingrained due to the experiences of World War II -- about twenty-seven miillion people killed, a tidal wave of mass death far worse than what Western countries experienced in that war. The former Soviet Union retains a great deal of strategic thought ultimately based on fear: a fatalistic psychology characterized by unhappiness, worry, and deep concern, with a tendency toward worst-case projections. Suggestions that things are going to be stable or okay may be rejected out of hand because of a belief that the assurances are naive or deceptive. This reality is not necessarily something to be excused, but it should be accepted as real.

Very interesting !

Never underestimate the power of the Russians 🇷🇺🇷🇺 people

Good design & it a very interesting moon robot 🤖 👽 👍

In one hand, it's war and competition that fueled the innovations of the space race, but in the other hand, humanity would benefit so much more if we combined our ambitions to accept that our true enemy is our own mortality and frailty. Our countries won't last forever, nor will our planet one day; we must succeed in being a space fairing race, for our survival as a species, to surpass generations, to surpass time and blunder.

The soviets had a genuine space program through which they sucessfully sent a man in space, n went around the moon, while the arogant Americans made a movie about landing on the moon!

The stupid music so loud, the narration voice drowned. Nope.👎🏼

Sad
