First orbital rocket launched from Europe crashes after takeoff
First orbital rocket launched from Europe crashes after takeoff
Uncrewed Spectrum test rocket’s failure seconds after blast-off said to have produced extensive data nonetheless
You're viewing a single thread.
I mean, technically, Russia is in Europe.
Also, as the guys at NASA said back in the day, it takes a thousand failures to create one working rocket. Don't look at something halfway done and call it a failure.
edit = apparently I need to learn to read a map.
Don't they do most of their launches from Baikonur in Kazakhstan?
Yeah, but they do have Plesetsk in the European part of Russia. Only used for unmanned launches.
I'll edit my comment
Is it? I thought technically it was in Asia?
Russia is like Turkey partial in europe. Whereas in Turkey its only part of Istanbul, Russia is up to the ural mountains.
RU is in Europe, and SSIA in Asia.
Any pretty much everything east of Ural mountains was colonised by Russian slavs. The native indigenous peoples often do not consider themselves russian.
So what about Kazakhstan?
It has a small part in Europe, west of the Ural river. The vast majority of it is in Asia, and I would largely consider it an Asian country.
Thanks
The actual Russian part is the European part, though.
Schrödinger's Country.
Sometimes it's in Europe and sometimes it's in Asia.
