          Luna isn't. Neither is its creator. 'Indedible mushrooms". Putin's going to run out of Russians.

            What a great inspiration for rocket scientists who want to live.

              Wild mushroom gathering is a national pastime in Russia. People learn from childhood what can be eaten and what cannot. Rule of thumb is always if you aren’t sure, don’t eat it.

              Suspicious.

                It is here too. And everyone is very certain before they eat any.

                  I could not access the linked article, but one I read said that "He was admitted to the hospital on Aug. 11, the same day a Soyuz rocket carrying the Luna 25 robotic spacecraft launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in the Russian Far East."

                  Maybe this was just an accident?

                    @taiwan_girl

                    Maybe suicide when he reviewed the math and realised that he had failed to convert to metric.

                    Since my earlier post I have since learned that the deceased was considered something of a nutter inside Russia.

                    Not that that means much of anything under the present circumstances in that country.

                      So he would have fit right in, right?

                            One can be forgiven, I think, for suspecting foul play.
