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?

Recently watched movies:

– Capernaum –

– a really cool movie. The main character, a thirteen-year-old Syrian boy named Zain Al Rafeea, could neither read nor write at the time of filming, grew up in the slums, and this is his first and so far only film. A very powerful movie, highly recommended.

– Green book – https://www.kinopoisk.ru/level/1/film/1108577/ – a semi-biographical drama about the era of racial segregation in the USA. Very good as well.

Yes, all from the Oscars, but worthy.
