SOYUZ

You know what's awesome? The Soyuz program. The Russians send more of these bitches up in a month than we send space shuttles up in a year, and it shows. They've been sending people up in these things since 1961. Not a single person has even been injured in a Soyuz accident since 1971. There were two accidents on manned missions in 1975 and 1983, and no one even died!

Yeah, the unmanned ones fuck up sometimes, but the manned Soyuz rocket has the best safety and performance record of any spacecraft in history. How's that for inefficient and dangerous communist engineering?

You'd think that sending people up as often as the Russians do, that would increase the chances of a fatal accident, but the result is the opposite. Because they do it so often, they've become fucking pros at it! If you want to put a person in space and see him come back alive, there's no better way to do it than with a Soyuz rocket.

The policy in the U.S. is all wrong. We need a good ol' fashioned rocket program, and we should be putting people in space every week. Our missions will become safer and cheaper. It will inspire our listless, distracted citizenry to turn their faces to the sky and to dream the greatness humanity can achieve!
