Too late. The Nazis (new window) beat them to it years ago.

Russian women beautiful. There is photographic proof of this bare assertion, but I'm on my phone right now.

Based on obesity rates america needs a moon base more than russia does.

This is true, they are skinny and pretty for the most part (very few people in Russia are overweight).

But they are heartless conniving biatches that make even the most pernicious American women seem angelic by comparison.

I'll pass on that one.

They're pretty much all under 200 pounds until at least mid 30s, which is about 10 years later than Americans

I have come here looking for someone to prove submitter wrong with photographs. However, so far, I am disappointed.

That's a massive claim subby

Russian women are indeed beautiful. They tend to not age well though, could be all the vodak, cigs and manual labor. I'm not really sure.

So this makes them the third country to announce plans for inhabiting the the moon?
Which makes it all the more curious why the US, the people who first discovered there was water and the only ones with manned lunar exploration experience, has answered the challenge with a giant presidential "Meh"...

Russian women are thin and attractive until they're about 25. Then the alcohol catches up.

My question is why inhabit the moon? Science can be the only reason, and missions to the moon serve that purpose just as well. Unless this is all a dick measuring contest.

Political and military reasons would fall under dick measuring and can be done with visits (because we can/own the high ground), but science is limited if the stay is short.
How much astrometry, biology or chemistry can someone do in a week?
The moon is the first place we can argue for a large and permanent offworld settlement because it's the nearest location that can provide most of everything we need.

If moving man into space is an honest goal, as NASA wants to believe, why is camping out on our celestial doorstep not in the plans?

I can't think that subby could possibly be unaware of hot russian spies, so I'm assuming it's a "clever" ploy to get people to post pics of hot russian chicks.

It's because we found water and not oil. If oil was discovered on the moon, we'd be up there again in no time.

If the contents of that hidden partition of my computer's storage array is any indicator, there are some awesome looking Russian women.

Will they also build a time tunnel to when people cared?
 
2012-01-21 05:34:44 PM
Well considering Russia hasn't sent anything beyond earth orbit since 1988 successfully (no humans at that), and with the recent failure of Phobos-Grunt in mind I'm not going to hold my breath.

Its about costs, there was no way the President no matter who he was was going to successfully convince the nation we should give NASA the funding they got durning the Apollo program. I'd love for that to happen, but it ain't going to happen. Furthermore, I don't see why you and others blame the president. All he did was suggest killing Constellation, to which Congress replied with Constellation lite.

So now instead of one big rocket and one smaller one based on the shuttle, we just have the one big one being developed. The goal of what we'll do with it, and the Orion spacecraft is less clear and less comitted to a particular goal but its still basically the same damn thing. Not that much has changed, yes we aren't comitting ourselves to a moon base but why should we anytime soon?

Russia isn't going anywhere with this plan, China might with their plan of going to the moon but that remains to be seen. China still has a great many hurdles to jump technologywise before it gets that far. Namely it has to build a big rocket capable of launching humans to the moon, something they can't turn to the Russians to learn.

Meanwhile the US may prove to pave the future instead with private spacecraft, while Russia and China continue to mess around with a 1960's mindset.

She's a professional model and (ex-)athlete, and an American citizen now. I'm willing to make an exception.

The first trailer came out several years ago. If you go over to youtube, they have two more teaser trailers for it.


Here's the Wikipedia page for Iron Sky (new window). It's being released on April 4, 2012 in Finland and on April 5th in Germany. No U.S. release date as of yet.
