In less eloquent circles, they crashed.
Don’t bother asking why the United States gave up its own manned space missile capabilities. We were too busy reaching out to Sixth Century Shitholers during the eight years of our own Dark Age to keep up with the Russkies.
Dark ages, indeed!!!
Ballistic descent mode = Gravity assisted landing
What’s decent about their descent?

Good thing treasonous gay Kenyan commie decided that main mission of NASA was to reach out to the Musloid world instead of us launching our own space missions.

Making things for that regime of flight that function when things have gone to hell is not a trivial exercise. It’s engineering at its finest.
Iz no problem…Russian Space Capsule Strong like Bull
It doesn’t take much to make the Russians go ballistic.
*ba da crash*
