And why did they send that misunderstanding, a toy robot, “Fedor,” into orbit? Sending half a kilo of cargo, say a conditional bottle of water, costs anywhere from seven to fifteen thousand according to various estimates. And this thing weighs no less than two to three hundred kilograms. I understand when Musk needed to test the Falcon Heavy, and some useful cargo in case of problems would have been destroyed. But what about this case? There must surely be a line of scientists with mice for experiments or experimental equipment, and yet they’re sending toys up there… or am I missing something?
