NYT celebrates U.S. moon landing by praising USSR diversity

User avatar
After more than two years of hating on the Russians, the NYT virtue signals the space diversty of the Soviet space program in the wake of the anniversary of the US beating them to the moon...

No mention made of Laika the Space Dog...

But comrade, there's really no contradiction.

- We love the old USSR because it was ruled by the communists.

- We hate modern Russia because they've disavowed communism.

It all makes sense.

Laika wasn't mentioned because she was the one who wrote that op-ed.

The USSR did send the first Asian man in space, a Vietnamese cosmonaut Phạm Tuân in 1979. The joke of the day was this:

The Vietnamese cosmonaut Phạm Tuân is being interviewed by Pravda.

"Was it difficult for you as a minority to fly with the international space crew?"
"No, I loved everything about it, except that my hands were always red."
"Why were your hands red?"
"Everybody was slapping them: don't touch this, don't touch that..."

I'll bet the Soviet Union also championed diversity when it came to who they sent to the gulag.

A: Otherwise the returning capsule would've landed in the West.

Thank you, Genosse, for the tip. I used it to respond to the New York Times thusly:

The Soviet space program was a cesspool of heteronormative bigots practicing binary sex, completely excluding gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transsexuals, queers, or any of the 57 genders and the otherkin. You call that diversity? I call it cisgenderville. Shame on you, @nytimes!

The NYT article makes NO reference to Sergei's tutorial which they blatantly plagiarized. They owe somebody a lot of rubles!

I nearly lost my dinner with this one: "Cosmonaut diversity was key for the Soviet message to the rest of the globe: Under socialism, a person of even the humblest origins could make it all the way up."

Funny.
From a Cherman (brilliant) reactionary, to PJW reactionary, to NYT:

(here; comments: hilarious, 99% reactionary too :-)
(and next day: "diversity of the Soviet space program" :-)

Yeah, white sexist heteropatriarchal phallocrator...

Staged all that "To the Moon! To the Moon!" hysteria, only to mock Musulmans who already were there, centuries earlier, and climate-neutrally, to boot - simply riding their beloved Buraq!

My Our entire Beet Collective has voted - UNANIMOUSLY!, of course - that we* will March In Solidarity With Heroic Dog Laika around my our ENTIRE beet fields, one complete circuit for every year since Heroic Dog Laika Sacrificed Her All for The Peoples' Revolutionary Struggle!

* - Sadly, Commissar Kindly Uncle Unkulturny is suffering from some undiagnosed leg and/or back issue, and will be unable to join my our Heroic Marchers in their - let's see... 62 complete circumnavigations of my our entire Beet Collective! (But he will be watching Our Heroic Marchers through binoculars to identify any Counter-Revolutionary SLACKERS!)

Socialism can send a woman, a black, and a asian into orbit but it can't figure out how to make toilet paper.

a) you don't need any "toilet paper" in orbit! no "toilet" there, korrekt?
b) those on ground, they still have Pravda, neatly cut in handy 4x6 inch sheets, da?
c) socialism optimizing food intake, the need of (however equipped) "toilets" dwindles anyway, eh?

Daniel Greenfield:

The Eagle Has Landed

Fifty years ago, a nation that we now know was racist, didn't care about the environment and drank too much soda, landed on the moon.

That period is swiftly becoming a historical relic. A thing that men did who lived long ago. A great work of other times like the building of dams and fleets, the winning of wars and the expansion of frontiers. Those are things that the men of back then did. Those are not things that we do anymore.

Forget exploring space. We explore the breadth of our own bureaucracy. We are the Schliemanns of Trojan horse government. We are the Neil Armstrongs of government landing on the paper moons of bills and acts by whose pale light we lead our pallid lives....

[OFF]
Quite shocking, also here, in Germany (and, in general, "transatlantically"), MSM remained pretty muffled about that truly historic space expedition.
(but ze Squad - ja, ze Squad, zey gif ze Trump ze hell!)

(while NYT's astro-cretinism was appropriately transmitted by our local reactionaries :-)

First dog in space died within hours

_38393381_laika300.jpg

https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2367681.stm

The dog Laika, the first living creature to orbit the Earth, did not live nearly as long as Soviet officials led the world to believe. The animal, launched on a one-way trip on board Sputnik 2 in November 1957, was said to have died painlessly in orbit about a week after blast-off.Now, it has been revealed she died from overheating and panic just a few hours after the mission started.P.S.: I have tried both rich and poor text and neither allow me properly edit this post.

The joke I remember went like this... Two Ukrainians talking:
- Pan Ivan, have you heard? Muscovites went to space!
- All of them, I hope?

Report at Ramp#7 (follow the "Free Ride to Kolyma" arrows). Warm clothes, valenki, toothbrush. Questions? . . . . Nope, the personal ticket (GK3.14159/65) you get tattooed at the ramp.

Will there be refreshments served on the ride to Kolyma?

Yes, yes. Of course. Don't worry, Comrade Jenkem.

Those who doze too much during the ride are refreshed by a hearty struck of a gunstock.
Those who fart (without permission), they.. but, Komrade, just come and take pot luck!

Be assured, the service personnel is highly professional, attentive and swift.

Hah! Now everything is illuminated!

This thread would be a nonentity, if there wasn't the Apollo 11 Moon landing...

But: no Apollo 11, if there wasn't the Saturn rocket.
But: no Saturn rocket, if there wasn't Dr. Wernher von Braun in Huntsville, AL.
But: no von Braun in Huntsville, if there wasn't Operation Paperclip.
But: no Operation Paperclip, if there wasn't WW2.
But: no WW2, if there wasn't* the Free City of Danzig, the Danziger Bay, the Westerplatte peninsulette in that bay, the Polish garrison stationed on Westerplatte, the German battleship (Schleswig-Holstein) visiting Danzig, and its - apparently out of nowhere, yet well pre-planned - salvo against the Westerplatte garrison.

*
        Mystery item No. 1
So, WW2, spiraling madly.. soon of global implications.. Uncle Sam (thank goodness!) steps in..

... WW2 petering out, in a side-splinter micro-event of that hell, Wernher von Braun & Team - until then working in Peenemünde (island Usedom) on V1, V2, and further Wunderwaffen - is taken to Amiland, they land in Huntsville, AL.

Next: Hitler kaputt, East Prussia gone, West Prussia gone, Silesia gone, most of Pomerania gone, whole Eastern Europe - plus a third of (remaining) Germany - flooded by Soviet Paradise. Um, Paradise - yet the deplorables somehow (korrekt, Betinov!) don't get it.

        Mystery item No. 2

The Free City of Danzig goes to Poland.
Danzig becomes Gdańsk.

Betinov & Blogunov:
[highlight=#ffff00]Problem solved[/highlight]. You never seen anyone Gdańsking, let alone Gdańsking with a Pole, did you?


Yet one thing remains... It peeves... Ah, yes - Pomerania!
Look here, just look here: Danzig, Usedom/Peenemünde, Polish Corridor, East Prussia, West Prussia, WW2, all that tohuwabohu:

Image

And now: Who is constantly, historically unprecedentedly, behind all this?
See this, see this, it's all here:

Image
Hmm...
Pomerania-Mueller, after those recent hearings, totally like out of the game, so - who remains?
Why, of course - Trumputler!
