    It took longer than expected for Luna-25 to get off the ground; its liftoff was delayed for nearly two years.

    Ok, I’m REALLY not trying in any way to defend the monstrous, murderous, invading pieces of shit:

    But JWST was like 1.5 decades late, I was waiting for it since the early 2000s: https://www.space.com/james-webb-space-telescope-budget-timeline-scale

    My point is: yes, they shot an old go-pro tied to a dreidel up there to prove they could shoot something, but we screw up space more often, this is one specific and limited area where we really shouldn’t throw too many stones.

    But, if you want to make fun of their shitty ISS modules, go have fun with that!

      The difference is JWST works flawlessly despite (or because?) those delay and ballooning budget, while the Luna-25 probably won’t survive the landing.
