The Russians Call Out NASA

For decades, #Boomers who believe in the #Moon-Landing #narrative more firmly than they believe in #God, #Family, or #Country have argued that the landings couldn’t have been faked or the #Russians would have called out #NASA. But now the former head of the Russian space agency is doing precisely that.

The former head of #Russia’s #Roscosmos space agency, #DmitryRogozin, has expressed #doubt that the #US #Apollo-11 mission really landed on the #Moon in 1969, saying he has yet to see conclusive #proof.

In a post on his Telegram channel on Sunday, Rogozin said he began his personal quest for the truth “about ten years ago” when he was still working in the Russian government, and that he grew skeptical about whether the Americans had actually set foot on the Moon when he compared how exhausted Soviet cosmonauts looked upon returning from their flights, and how seemingly unaffected the Apollo 11 crew was by contrast.

#Rogozin said he sent requests for evidence to Roscosmos at the time. All he received in response was a book featuring Soviet Cosmonaut Aleksey Leonov’s account of how he talked to the American astronauts and how they told him they had been on the Moon.

The former official wrote that he continued with his efforts when he was appointed head of Roscosmos in 2018. However, according to Rogozin, no evidence was presented to him. Instead, several unnamed academics angrily criticized him for undermining the “sacred cooperation with NASA,” he claimed. The former Roscosmos chief also said he had “received an angry phone call from a top-ranking official” who supposedly accused him of complicating international relations.

Rogozin concluded by saying he still cannot believe that the US was able to pull off the feat, but is now unable to, despite the incredible progress in technology since the late 1960s. What he claims to have found out, however, was that Washington has “its people in [the Russian] establishment.”

Translation: NASA faked major elements of the space program and everyone in a place to know better kept quiet for fear of being targeted by #ClownWorld. But now it is becoming increasingly obvious and the official Moon landing narrative is rapidly crumbling.

I very much doubt this will be the only #historical #hoax to be exposed by the Russians over the next decade.

"Russian assets reportedly banned from export at the Baikonur cosmodrome by Kazakh authorities."

"In March 2023, reports emerged that Kazakh authorities introduced a formal ban on the export of TsENKI assets from Baikonur into Russia and issued orders for the local head of the organization not to leave the country."

"TsENKI is a Russian organization that specializes in the development and operation of launch facilities and ground equipment."

Apparently this jeopardizes the ability of the Russians to operate the Soyuz-5 from the Baikonur spaceport.

If true this will force the Russians to switch to the Vostochny spaceport in the Russian Far East. It's located north of Harbin, China, on the Russian side of the border. I would've thought they would have put it further south (as close to the equator as possible), so it would be near Vladivostok, but in fact it's a bit north of Vladivostok and that piece of Russia that sticks south to the North Korean border.

Russian Assets Reportedly Banned From Export At The Baikonur Cosmodrome By Kazakh Authorities - TLP News

In March 2023, reports emerged that Kazakh authorities had seized all TsENKI assets in Baikonur and issued orders for the local head of the organization not to leave the country.

ESA Publishes Stunning Photo of a 2.5-Mile Wide Icy Martian Crater

image

The European Space Agency (ESA) released a breathtaking new photo of a two-and-a-half-mile wide ice-covered crater on Mars affectionately nicknamed "Red Velvet."

Spotted by Digitaltrends , the image was captured by the Trace Gas Orbiter that snaps images of the surface of the red planet, examines the gases in the atmosphere, and acts as a communications link between landers and other devices on the surface and planet Earth. The orbiter is officially a collaboration between the ESA and Russian space agency Roscosmos and the photo, originally captured on July 5, 2021, shows a nearly four-kilometer-wide perspective of the surface and the ice dusted crater near the north polar region of Vastitas Borealis on Mars.

"Like a sprinkle of powdered sugar on a rich red velvet cake, this scene from the ESA/Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter captures the contrasting colors of bright white water-ice against the rusty red martian soil," the ESA describes.

The ESA says the crater is partially filled with water ice more prevalent on the north-facing slopes since that region receives fewer hours of sunlight throughout the year with the dark sections on the crater edges likely containing volcanic materials like basalt, giving it a sort of scorched looking appearance.

The full resolution photo file of the crater, seen below, can be downloaded from the ESA website.

The presence of water on the planet is a big deal for space exploration, since bringing the precious liquid would be too heavy to carry all the way to the planet on a potential future manned mission. The presence of the ice means the liquid could be melted down and used for drinking water or fuel. The problem, according to the ESA, is that most of these deposits that have been found exist near the polar regions of the planet, and most missions want to land near the equatorial regions. Naturally, the next step is to seek out ice below the surface of the planet with missions like the upcoming Mars Ice Mapper, or the last option is to take the hydrated minerals from the soil and bake them to release any water they might contain.

More stunning photos taken by Trace Gas Orbiter that it has captured since the beginning of its scientific mission in 2016, can be found by visiting the ESA's website.
