Crew Dragon spacecraft, and what about our “Eagle”: space competition

197

NASA and SpaceX continue to celebrate the docking of Crew Dragon with the ISS. For Russia, the independent flight of Americans to the International Space Station, as well as the launch of the world's first private spacecraft, is an occasion to seriously think about the future of the space industry.

NASA and SpaceX have something to celebrate


Crew Dragon Commander Doug Hurley has already managed to share his impressions of the flight from orbit. From the pages of NASA and SpaceX on Twitter do not go smiling faces of American astronauts. There really is a reason for fun, and it is very large-scale. No wonder NASA Director Jim Brydenstein on his Twitter made a statement not so much even on the topic of space, but political in content:



NASA has the unique ability to bring people together even in times of great difficulty. I hope that historical Bob and Doug’s mission on Saturday reminded us that we can achieve great goals when we come together as a nation.


Astronaut Chris Cassidy, in turn, emphasized the importance of international cooperation in space.

For a long time, many people in the world were convinced: Elon Musk was bluffing, but he was not so simple as they thought of him. The collaboration between SpaceX and NASA began back in 2008, and now, after twelve years, it brought such tangible results.

First and foremost, Americans can now deliver people to the ISS on their own, Russian ships are no longer needed for this. For Russia, this development of events is a potential loss of under $ 100 million from each American “passenger”. Given that usually 5-6 astronauts flied to the ISS, Roscosmos could potentially remain without an income of $ 400-500 million a year.



The second and no less important consequence of the Crew Dragon flight is that a private spaceship set off into space. And for NASA, this turned out to be cheaper than independently dealing with the delivery of astronauts. In the very near future, the Boeing spacecraft, which has long been on the heels of SpaceX, will inevitably fly into space. So far, the brainchild of Mask managed to get around the giant of the American aircraft industry, but who knows how events will develop in the future and who will begin to dominate the competition for space exploration.

Do not forget that the Crew Dragon in the final project is larger and more capacious than the “Unions”: potentially up to seven people. While there are fewer seats.

But since this is a commercial project, it costs nothing to organize constant flights of space tourists, which will be abundant among wealthy people and all kinds of "stars striving for the stars." What can Russia oppose to such a development of events?

Does Russia have a chance not to lose in space?


Soyuz spacecraft with incredible potential and reliability, but they are also becoming obsolete. The main hope remains the ship "Federation", aka "Eagle". In 2013, at the MAKS for the first time they showed the “Federation” model in plastic. Since then, "things are still there." At Roskosmos they promise, promise and promise, but even according to the most optimistic forecasts, the Eagle will fly into space no earlier than 2027. That is, wait seven years. And Crew Dragon is already in space. And Boeing's Starliner is also likely to fly in the foreseeable future. Cosmic competition is only intensifying.



But the main thing is not even the timing of the Eagle flight, by which we are already far behind the Americans, but the lack of a clear space strategy. Alas, the systemic crisis that hit almost all the industries that modern Russia inherited from the Soviet Union did not bypass Roskosmos.

For a while, Russia was still leading due to Soviet developments, but everything comes to an end if we do not develop technologies, do not pay attention to basic scientific research, and allow brain drain to the same American corporations. Already now, according to experts, Russia has no choice but to offer partnership flights. This is when one American astronaut flies on the "Union", and ours - on the Crew Dragon.

One of the serious errors in the space direction is probably the overly militarized understanding of the space industry. The authorities are interested in “military space,” while the United States understands the importance and profitability of civilian space research and projects. The Crew Dragon flight experience is a great chance for Russia to rethink and reformat something, if, of course, it is really necessary.

True, the American “Dragon” has yet to prove its reliability. I flew to the ISS, now we need to return. This is no less difficult task in technical terms.

    The author did not even show his awareness of the Russian space program.
    The article is about nothing.
    The eagle is too large - no one needs it. 3-4 places - this is the optimal dimension, and not 7 or more.

Alas, the systemic crisis that hit almost all industries left over to modern Russia as a legacy from the Soviet Union, did not pass by and "Roskosmos".

      Complete stupidity .. The USSR inherited the best space industry in the world, with advanced developments. But modern Russia has created a systemic crisis in all areas .. And the managers at the helm should be responsible for this.

          Only youngsters who have seen enough of different video bloggers, without thinking too much, here and there are talking about "in 20 years, a good guy could build Singapore." Well, there is Google, well, you can see what indicators the country took in 2000 and what Soviet "backlog" "stayed there. There was no question of any space at that time, our station Mir in 2001 was flooded in the Pacific Ocean only due to lack of funding. For the next 10 years, he paid off the debts of the former Soviet republics and solved more pressing problems than your space. The country increased its financial fat and began to develop only in plus or minus 2010 and before that it survived.

            Young people have problems understanding this length of time. A little detail of those times (in their head), plus a passion for simplification. Hence these bare, empty accusations. Yes, and add a couple of years, think for years.
            Musk built from 0 in 10 years.

            This is generally a masterpiece of simplification. If you google it, you can easily see how everything did not begin with "0", and it was not done "in 10 years". But these are nuances, and nuances are not about them)

            So look ..
            NPPs worked .. there was a nuclear umbrella too .. Yes, and in 2000 the situation was better in the economy than in 92 .. For when everyone just scattered across different countries, it was stupid to wait for positive .. and by the end of 2000, the country was already got used to the market economy ..
            Oil / gas / forest / gold / diamonds - did not disappear anywhere ..
            Take at least the same cosmos .. Only a complete oligophrenic language will turn to say that we did not have a reserve in this industry .. Even more - touched and now still remains !! Despite all these 20 years ..

              Yeah live and flutter. Only in 2000 did the second Chechen war begin. And the first did not even end. If you think that there was nowhere to put money apart from space, then you are deeply mistaken.

                        Good. I’ll ask differently. The cost of war for 8 years (I do not consider military operations and the cost of troops after the end of the active phase of the war) is less and more than space costs. And what do you think is most important, space or the cessation of war at that time?

                        The question is incorrect. The reconstruction of Grozny and Chechnya in general took such money that it would be enough to fly to the moon many times. First, Yeltsin blurted out: “Take as much sovereignty as you want,” and then he outplayed it back. Do you know, for example, that the homeowners of the village of Pervomayskoye are grateful to the Titanic Raduev? After all, each homeowner received 50 thousand dollars and a Zhiguli to boot. Read the memoirs of the hero of Russia A. Zaripov. "Pervomaika". At that time, the money was huge, the whole village rebuilt new houses for itself.

                        I was present there in the 1st and 2nd, so what was happening there I know not by hearsay. Only you forgot about Grozny oil. She did not enter the budget of the country, but went to the restoration of the republic. Do not believe everything they say and write. Life is much more complicated.

                        I have not forgotten anything. I believe that it was because of this pipe that the war began. Our leaders were offended when Dudayev asked for world oil prices for oil transit. During the storming of Grozny, it was forbidden to bomb the Grozny gas plant, as far as I know. Yes, and the palace of Dudaev too. Cryoprotector, deputy Kovalev from his basement offered to surrender to our boys. Yeah, but Grachev blundered about the young men who are dying with a smile for Russia. Good smiles, no words ... So that they both in hell fluttered in the same pan.

                        Because of the couple, the war began, it can be talked for a long time, it would have begun anyway. But they could finish it only when the alcoholic left. Why this descendant of the kulaks was eager for power, I still can not understand. But we are talking about space. Then there was no money for him. And the fact that we are flying into space now, and did not stop flying there even in difficult times, is a huge achievement. And the reproaches and accusations of some of all the grave sins of all who are in power are simply not fair. The main stuffing under the guise of a citizen of Russia and it does not matter on what topic.

                        Okay, you can talk about it endlessly. And you can also blame corruption if you yourself are not allowed to the trough. But as soon as you yourself begin to steal, you immediately turn from a fighter into an ardent defender of a corrupt official. Corruption is everywhere, in any country, it is only called and hides differently.
                        At the same time, according to the press secretary of Zhirinovsky Yuri Ryzhov, Ponomarev himself has undeclared income. “For God's sake, he has the right. He is completely bogged down in his own scandals involving undeclared funds. The only strange thing is that he went such a difficult path. I would write immediately to the State Department, ”Ryzhov commented on the statement by Ponomarev.

A March report by NASA inspector general Paul Martin said the budget allocated for the development of the rocket exceeded the norm by two billion dollars, and the development lagged behind the schedule by several years.

        First, do not forget about Orion.
        It is he who is the "state" American ship (and it is necessary to compare the Eagle with it, in the mind), and the Dragon and Starliner are just private owners, taxi drivers. They did it for the requested task, and not "for the future."
        Also, do not underestimate the same Dragon.
        Musk was a cunning poet, and from the very beginning he laid down, he wanted (and demanded from his engineers) a spacecraft that scales very well up, has much more possibilities than for NOU. That is why their shield (PICA-X) was immediately designed with the possibility of returning from the second space. Although what the hell is for NOU? And the way he knows how to finish his files with a file (and not to the detriment of their reliability as a result, we note) is perfectly visible by the example of their main horse - Falcon 9.
        I am sure that if NASA starts Artemis, Musk will definitely participate with the "new" Dragon in the competition to duplicate delivery functions there - with Orion.
        But Starliner - just a simpleton. The Boeing made it through sleeves, despite the fact that they poured much more money. And it scales up almost nothing.

How can it be compared with the ultra-modern Dragon? Mask when creating the ship had at its disposal completely different technologies. And-do not forget that Musk did not create the ship as God would put a soul on. He had a specific technical task from NASA. He performed it, as did the Boeing.

      That's right, 90 million is exclusively for American best friends, and 45 is already making a profit. Before Soyuz, at the cost of launching, Dragon still has to jerk and jerk, whatever its wonderful interiors, spacesuits and snacks at the launch buffet.

    I present to your attention the "Plan for the Development of Domestic Cosmonautics until 2030":

    Step 1
    Using the Proton launch vehicle, we launch the Soyuz spacecraft with the crew into orbit of the moon. They were created for this. Therefore, investment should be minimal.

    Thus, we are warming up the interest of Americans in the moon. Accordingly, Musk receives a new contract from NASA and throws all SpaceX resources to the exploration of the moon.

    Step 2
    At a time when all the attention of Americans is riveted to the Moon, RosKosmos is quickly restoring the project of the inter-orbital tugboat Ferry. This is a reusable spacecraft project, but which is based not on the Earth, but on the ISS, is accordingly not subject to constant overloads and can serve for decades.

    By the time the Americans get to the moon, we are bringing a brand new Ferry to the ISS, which is revolutionizing the space transportation market (including flights to the moon). Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy become completely unprofitable. SpaceX stocks crash. Mask has the first heart attack.

    Step 3
    The Americans are beginning to hysterically seek an answer, but the only thing that comes to their mind is to copy the Russian Ferry. It is clear that all this takes time, and at this time, RosKosmos is cutting grandmas. By the time the Americans get a copy of the Ferry, the horse’s move follows ...

    ... the Russians are undocking their ISS segment without which the life support of the American segment is impossible. Accordingly, the American Ferry cannot operate without basing on an orbital station and remains unclaimed. ALL! The dominant position of Russia in space is guaranteed!

    Here is such a multi-path! Contact! bully

          In my not too enlightened opinion in the field of space policy of my native state, the Americans in the "Soyuz" were needed only for earning and no more. In order to once again not figure out who or what made the hole in the ISS case, it seems to me that it will be better when we fly with them at different stations and not together. So it will be calmer and probably more reliable.

            Well, for our long-suffering space industry, the ISS project was indeed a source of financial support. Plus, we have gained additional experience in the technical support of the operation of the orbital station. Thanks to this, Americans and others take off a relatively inexpensive life support system for their scientific research. Otherwise, no one would have taken us into the project, they would have cut us out just like the Chinese. Well, in general, up to a certain point, all this really could be called mutually beneficial cooperation. But then the Americans began to brazenly and consistently nibble at the edges from our cake. At first, freight transportation was squeezed out of us, Progress began to fly less. Now they will take manned flights, there will be no one to fly on the Union except our cosmonauts. A reasonable question arises - why the hell do we need all this? Or what does someone pay us for the work of our command module, on which all the ISS life support is tied? That is, should we ensure the station’s work for our own money, and will the Americans take off the cream? They are not fucking there?

The Crew Dragon flight experience is a great chance for Russia to rethink and reformat something, unless, of course, it is really necessary. [Quote]

    Controversial statement of the author. The power by which the author apparently understands the power of the Russian Federation is simply forced to choose between military and civilian research on a meager budget, giving preference to the former for objective reasons. At the same time, our government does not refuse from civilian projects, although it does so on a residual basis. There are so far no bright personalities in Roscosmos who would set freshness and acceleration of its development, so for now we are satisfied with the bright quotes of D. Rogozin on the Internet and look forward to the arrival of talented and extraordinary people in the Russian space industry.

        There is no paradox.
        In fact, the budget of Roskosmos is not so small (since the beginning of the 40s), it has grown by more than 40 times (!), But we are doing much more for this 90-fold increase than we did in the "difficult XNUMXs" ?
        The answer is obvious - no, we don’t.
        In the 90s there were no fewer launches, and we could support the World, and we built the ISS, and we launched the Glonassa, you will not believe it, and we were able to make the RD-180 project, and then sell it to the Americans.

      Yes, and ours seem to have gone this way, here is a sketch of the reusable "Argo":

      The fact that the Russian spacecraft Argo will be able not only to deliver cargoes to the ISS, but also to return not in the form of a falling piece of metal, has already been written by many publications. For the first time, they began talking about the prototype of the private reusable spacecraft Argo in September 2019. On the website of the company "International Transport Space Systems" (MTKS) you can find a few fluent pictures "by hand" and some advertising information. What is known about this reusable truck? Flight tests are scheduled to begin in 2023, and from 2026. It is noted that the ship's hull will be assembled from composite materials, for this it is planned to build an assembly and production complex. As possible sites are considered Kazakhstan, Voronezh and Moscow region. The cost of the ship’s use cycle, including manufacturing, will be about $ 11,5 million. The returned apparatus includes a pressurized cargo compartment and an unpressurized aggregate compartment, which houses a combined propulsion system providing orbital maneuvering of the ship, spatial orientation, gas-dynamic descent control, rocket-dynamic landing apparatus and, if necessary, its withdrawal from the emergency launch vehicle. The integrated control system is responsible for the operation of navigation and orientation tools, propulsion, telemetry systems, communications and power distribution. The top cover protects against aerodynamic and thermal influences during the stages of removal and descent. rtss.space Many emphasize that according to the government procurement website, the manufacture of the Progress MS spacecraft costs $ 29,5 million. At the same time, it is capable of transporting 2,6 tons, but it cannot return cargo. Russia does not have and is not developing other transport cargo ships. A new generation of transport ships has been developed in the world - Dragon from SpaceX, Cygnus from Northrop Grumman, Dream Chaser from Sierra Nevada, Japanese Konotori. It has recently been announced that a contract has been signed for the manufacture of a composite hull for the prototype of the ship; it will be produced in Germany due to a lack of necessary technologies. The designed ship will consist of a disposable propulsion compartment and a reusable return vehicle capable of delivering up to 2 tons of cargo to the ISS and returning up to 1 tons of cargo. Argo will be able to be part of a near-earth station for up to 300 days, in autonomous flight for a month, and its designated resource will be 20 take-off and landing cycles. Planned technical parameters of the ship: Cargo volume - 11 cubic meters. Diameter - 4,1 m. Height - 5,6 m. Gross weight of the ship - 11,5 tons. It is noted that the creation of a transport truck will be undertaken by MTKS, founded by immigrants from S7 Space (a subsidiary of the S7 group), together with enterprises of the state corporations Roscosmos, Rosatom, and Rostec.

      It can, private companies can contain a huge civilian fleet (both sea and air) along with infrastructure ... the question is rather whether there will be a sufficient market volume in terms of demand, because it was so with the sea that with air transport
      So far (IMHO) there is nothing special to do in space (not so long ago the demand was created mainly by the military), but Musk is trying to create demand himself (making flights more accessible), thus creating competitors

    I would defend Rogozin, he does what he can. He has already got the collapsed industry, over the past couple of years, at least they began to put things in order somehow. Do you think Rogozin will be replaced and something will change? With us, the thieves' managers were sitting, they changed some for the other, and the specialists all fled to the edge. An amazing situation has developed that the industry is bled white, even if some are displaced, then there is no one to put, everyone has fled for a long time, and no one has raised their own personnel for many years. A self-respecting specialist under the direction of a "son" will not work and invent something. Well, salaries, of course, cannot make up any competition for commercial organizations, there is no such force that can generally keep an engineer in the industry. For example, they will want to hire strong specialists in radio engineering or engines, but they are no longer there, radio engineers have been retrained as programmers and are working to the west, and engine engineers have also been in commerce for a long time and in a completely different field, and for competition it takes 10 years to study and another 10 years is tightly a topic to do this, and not just to sit out trousers, but to really bite into knowledge, spend the night in the laboratory, search, puzzle. And who will sit on a penny salary for 10 years, and even when support is not visible, but only intrigues and unnecessary reports to anyone in mountains.

      Having become the head of Roscosmos, Rogozin first ordered the destruction of the Rysachok aircraft and all the equipment for its production, although he was already ready to go into production.
      And now the main building of Roscosmos is an office building on the territory of the former rocket production.

      Do you think Rogozin will be replaced and something will change? In our country, thieves like executives were sitting and sitting, some were replaced by others, and specialists all fled to the region.

      But nobody wants to understand this! It is more convenient to think that the whole thing is in one person - Rogozin. Otherwise, you’ll have to ask yourself: why am I not developing space, electronics, shipbuilding, machine tool building, automotive industry, engine building, etc. How why ?, I will answer. Because they don’t pay money there, salaries are 5-10 times lower than they should be. 12 thousand in clean production, this is an outdated value, but even then people there should have received over a hundred so that it would not have occurred to them to go somewhere before retirement. None of us will quit work in commerce to take up space, and the young guys know nothing. They want to work, but a year or two, then they will find out how much commerce pays. Patriot228 he described the situation absolutely correctly, and it is not resolved even by close elimination of Rogozin.
      And do not give the example of the USSR! There everyone was told what to do, they sat and did. And they got everything the same. This system is no longer there; it remains with North Korea. We must learn to work in the system that we have. To do this, we will have to think, change, prove and risk money and comfort, and not Rogozin. And who is ready for this? If there are 20 people across the country, this is already a collective. Just not found. And I will not risk it, comfort and good money are more expensive. Here we are.

          Received in different ways. So zvizdet about the same salary is not necessary.

          Comrade, move away from the tree, you don't see the forest. The word "the same" will have to be interpreted. It is not the same up to the ruble, but the same order (order = 10 times). 120, 150, 200 and even 450-600 rubles - this is one order of salaries. On the buses there were always job advertisements, salaries of up to 450 rubles were indicated, I don't know whether they were paid that way or not. Not the point. But now, when I get 25-120 tons. a month, and someone gets 5 million a day, these are completely different things. 100 or 300 even tr. they will never buy me an apartment in the City or nearby skyscrapers, and I will master the car by one and a half or two million. And that dude will buy a 260 sqm penthouse. on the 56th floor, and save up for a Mercedes for his mistress in a week. Why am I - then you could not earn much money, nor could you spend it! There were no big bucks. And there was not much envy, because no one really had anything. Now is not the case. Now there is at least the specter of wealth, everyone strives for it as best they can. And now it is very difficult to make a person voluntarily live in poverty for the sake of an idea. This means that the system must be changed.
          Changing Rogozin can help, because all changes come from above, but not one Rogozin does everything there. There are tens of thousands of people. Rogozin is unlikely to tell them to make bad rockets or not to develop anything. The astronaut cannot be set either. Krikalev wants to cooperate with the Americans, Leonov ... well, a man died.

    "Roscosmos could potentially be left without income in the amount of $ 400-500 million per year."

    This income is extrabudgetary. We will launch Arabs and tourists. Two commercial ships, regardless of federal order, are already under construction. It feels like we are somehow forbidding the Americans to build their ships. laughing

    "Do not forget that the Crew Dragon in the final project is larger and more spacious than the Unions: potentially up to seven people. So far, there are fewer seats."

    Well, they will fly like herring in a barrel at 9,3 cubic meters. laughing By the way, "Soyuz MS" is more in terms of pressurized volume - 10,5m3.

    "But since this is a commercial project, it costs nothing to organize regular flights of space tourists, which will be abundant among wealthy people and all kinds of 'stars rushing to the stars.' What can Russia oppose to such a development of events?"

    Above I wrote - two extra-budgetary and commercial ships ALREADY on a slipway. An agreement with the Arabs is being signed.

    "Roscosmos promises, promises and promises, but even according to the most optimistic forecasts, the Eagle will fly into space no earlier than 2027. That is, wait seven years."

    Eagle is a different ship, not for flights to the ISS. He has flights to the ISS only within the framework of flight design tests.

    "But the main thing is not even the timing of the flight of the Eagle, according to which we are already far behind the Americans, but the absence of a clear space strategy."

    The absence of a clear strategy is only in the head of this scribbler. laughing The development program for this decade is ready.

    "Already now, according to experts, Russia has no choice but to offer partner flights. This is when one American astronaut flies on the Soyuz, and ours on the Crew Dragon."

    Something I don’t see here is a particular achievement - they just finally did what has been a routine for Russia for a long time. China, for example, has not only launched a man, but also successfully tested a heavy rocket, and is going to create its own orbital station - and no special pump. So it’s generally strange that the Americans flew in the Russian Unions for so long: the technology of putting people into orbit has long been worked out many times — it’s not about delivering people to the moon. (And this, by the way, is another proof that they never were on the Moon: for those who reached the Moon, it would be ridiculous not to have so much time to simply deliver people to Earth orbit on their own. If they were on the Moon half a century ago - now they would not puzzle how to achieve it in the twenty-first century, without any technology for this - all the lunar technologies would be available to them for a long time, and they would have settled there for a long time and reliably).

    Even the title itself raises the question of the author's awareness of this issue. And if it is not, then why write an article on this topic? I will explain. Eagle, Federation, whatever you call it - ship for the moon program. It is not intended for flight to the ISS, because the replacement of the Union is not considered. There is simply no real replacement for the Union in our work. Therefore, comparing the Eagle is logical with the same type of Orion, in fact, with whom he was distorted to the extent of technological capabilities. From this it follows that Crew Dragon (or rather Dragon 2), and the upcoming CST-100 Boeing, Rogozin and Co. simply have nothing to answer. And if there is any damage to the missiles, there are already ready engines, but no ship.

That is secret, this is secret, here this detail is made by a secret paramilitary factory, which tomorrow will be instructed to do something else - and it will stupidly pump up the entire schedule and private obligations - that's all, on this our "private space" turns belly up and is taken away without special pathos.

    "Already now, according to experts, Russia has no other choice but to offer partner flights. This is when one American astronaut flies on the Soyuz, and ours on the Crew Dragon."
    Why is this still?

    Alas, the systemic crisis that hit almost all the industries that modern Russia inherited from the Soviet Union did not bypass Roskosmos.

    The systemic crisis did not hit space or other industries, the systemic crisis is primarily in the minds of our officials

    For some reason, no one pays attention to such a nuance as refueling the ship itself and rockets 35 minutes before the start, when the crew is already in the ship. NASA was against it, but in 2018 agreed, since refueling a rocket with supercooled fuel just before launch allows you to refuel a rocket with a large amount of fuel, which is necessary for landing the first stage. And this is despite the fact that in 2016, the Falcon-9 exploded with the AMOS-6 satellite during refueling.
    And Crew Dragon engines, by the way, run on the self-igniting components of monomethylhydrazine + nitrogen tetraxide. Monomethylhydrazine - the poison is slightly weaker than asymmetric dimethylhydrazine (heptyl).
    By the way, due to the explosion of the propulsion system in April 2019, which destroyed the ship, which was supposed to make the first manned flight in the summer, the launch was postponed to the spring of 2020. In April of the same 2019, tests of the parachute system failed. As modestly stated in Space X, three out of four parachutes worked abnormally.
    The first manned launch was planned for 2017.
    Do not consider it gloating. Just how difficult it is, and so does Mask.

    Elon Musk is an enthusiast of his business, an extravagant rich man who decided to invest his money in the creation of space systems, and not in a casino in Las Vegas. At the same time, he, as a businessman, having calculated all the pros and cons, receives up to 60% of the funds for these developments from the US government (this is natural, because it controls the printing of dollars). That is, the person is not at a loss, as they say. He likes it, he feels like a “pioneer”, just like the hero of E. Hemingway’s book “The Holiday That Is Always With You.” This is how the famous writer describes this human condition: “Perhaps this was Scott’s first time drinking wine straight from the bottle, and therefore he felt joyful excitement, like a person who gets acquainted with the life of brothels, or like a girl who decided to swim for the first time without a bathing suit.”
    Thus, our astronautics faces the following questions:
    1. Who are we doing all this for?
    2. Why are we doing all this?
    3. Where is the customer for everything we do?
    And there is a simple answer to all this: an enthusiastic fanatic who can captivate hundreds of scientists, designers, managers, financiers, industrialists, military men, etc. We don’t have such powers. That is why there is no customer for some extraordinary breakthrough in space exploration. Thus, we have a classic example of the “role of personality in history.”

    Not everything is clear with Dragon. Information about the Crew Dragon mission has completely disappeared from NASA's website.

    Everything is fine . Why is the author suddenly panicking? Competition in such an area is inevitable, otherwise one of the parties will begin to relax, and this is fraught... And then, to seriously declare a “victory-breakthrough”, etc. “Elon Mask” needs to fly back and forth fifty times, or better yet a hundred... .

    I read all sorts of different analysts and noticed that the Union was created for the lunar program. That is, for flights to the ISS it has some redundant parameters. It might be easier to simplify this ship to the level of flights to the ISS, probably freeing up space for additional cargo and maybe an astronaut (at least one)
    Surprisingly, the Eagle (Federation) is again created for a flight to the Moon and again they put unnecessary characteristics into it, making it again uncompetitive, with the same Dragon. Although I doubt that Dragon is cheaper than flying on the Soyuz.
    And if you look at everything else, then either Rogozin is not telling us something and Roscosmos has some kind of cunning plan and everything is fine, or this is stupidity and a dissolute use of money.

      Soyuz is too luxurious for flights to the ISS. Two-room apartment with toilet. In general - business class according to the automotive classification.
      And the Dragon is a gazelle during rush hour with a seven-seater version - 1,57 cubic meters of volume per person.
