Excellent Russian engines is probably the reason why Musk has completely outcompeted them...

They are probably free to have open discussions in their education and engineering institutions, without offending the severely mentally retarded Leftards.
Leftards get free helicopter rides in Russia, so there's that.

US government subsidies, but yeah, Musk has literally destroyed every nation in the rocket game by a long shot. Isn't SpaceX launching more rockets than all countries combined?

He respects Russians and their engine development. Wikipedia data lists Russian Rocket Engines listed as some of the most efficient and best performing.

SpaceX Engines run on MethaLox which is intrinsically lower performance, but their engines are fantastic.

Which is bull shit. Regardless of subsidies, a private sector person is blowing away huge countries. I'm neutral on Musk, but the facts are what they are. He has a better space program than Russia or any other nation on the planet. So yeah.

When is Elena scheduled to go into space with Bezos and Branson?

Elon got spit on by an old Communist Rocket Designer in Russia when he was shopping many years ago. "Dumb capitalist, buy our better engines, now we have no money due to running dog tophat."

Some ULA rocket uses a version of Russian rocket engines, I believe.

Engineer I knew in the day who worked for a satellite geographic resource surveillance company in Tri Valley was sent to Russia a couple of times to oversee launch packages. He said the Russian town's only other major industry was sex toys, so they had barrels of dildos in all the stores for sale. and street hawkers selling them in all shapes and sizes.

The place he was at was close to the border with China. He wouldn't drink on these trips and the Russians, of course, wanted to get drunk on vodka all the time. He told them he'd drink with them if they didn't mind him driving one of their rocket trailers over the Chines border, because that is what he did when he was drunk. They stopped bothering him.

He said every single business meeting they had with the Russian government had an organized crime representative present as well. Spooky.

Shortest OP of the Turing Test yet. Maybe the next post will be "Ukraine Begs to be Annexed by Putin."

Yes. He's also the Worlds Largest Satellite Operator now, by a longshot.

Don’t underestimate the Russian capabilities.

How many of those have Russians produced?
