  1. Soviet space stations also used automatic and autonomous docking.

  2. This service (landing on Moon) is possibly to buy, Russia propose such service from late 1990s for any space tourist who wants. But nobody still bought, too expensive, people bought only trip to stations, Mir and now ISS.

  3. @milk_chemistry Soviets used on own shuttle AI back in 20 century, even developed special new programming language which simplified process of AI development. During first flight when shuttle returned was huge wind and shuttle strangely changed course, everyone thought it will crash, but it landed successfully — AI included wind in own landing process. Very likely people would not land in that flight (without a lot of practice on simulators).

  4.  @milk_chemistry  All space shuttle programs were closed else at Soviet times. Initially they arrived as part of defense program (together with military space stations, laser pistols, space machine guns and so on), but then was signed international act which prohibited weapons in space, so both US and USSR closed this direction of own programs. Then US launched program of huge space shuttles, promised cheap delivery of goods to space. USSR not believed to that, because it is much more expensive than rockets, so Soviets believed it is some hidden military program and also made own shuttle. But no, US really believed that shuttle will be cheaper. When USSR discovered that there are no any military program, it immediately closed own program of shuttle, it was closed even before officially finished, but developers continued it to first flights just for fun. US by unknown reason continued usage of shuttles, but later recognized it was hugest mistake in whole their space program and significant part of money they spent on this pointless thing. Program of shuttles also was closed and now they again returned to classical ships.

  5. Both USSR and USA made a lot of them of different design back in 1960-70s. Existed real planes — tiny one for one pilot, when countries thought about battle in spaces :) Prototypes of space fighters. Soviet also produced military space stations, tested special machine gun in space and even developed real laser pistol (for case if US will try to capture some of station).

  6. It is not 6th gen fighter jets. Never believe to clickbait titles, it is only titles. One even not some fighter, just ordinary companion, with flying abilities abilities close to 3rd gen. There are still no list of approved requirements to technologies which jet need to have to became 6th gen fighter. So any mentions about 6th gen anywhere in world a-priory are fakes. While in already existed and approved part of list exist technologies which still non invented in world. So no, we will not see 6th gen at least for next 20 years (very likely even more). Also you can take list of requirements to 5th gen jets published back in 1980s and you will see than in China there are no any 5th gen, because there are no jet yet which have each obligatory requirement.

  7. Interceptor? Back in 2015 in Russia was leaked engine for unknown jet which works both in air and space. Looks like from MiG-41.

  8. Idk how fast is China, but Russian delivery to ISS — 3 hours. Delivery to home — 30 minutes for goods, 15 minutes for food.

  9. Do Japanese know they have module on ISS? Or also never heard? 0
