Some sanity remains in Putin's Russia as it launches for a Moon landing, challenging India's earlier launch in August.

I wrote that as my August 2023 entry into "
AP's periodic journal of fakeries and truths in science// Physics focus series, book 2 Kindle Edition
by Archimedes Plutonium (Author) "

But now there is a add twist to the story. For the Russian satellite failed, probably sending repercussions to Moscow, that everything they do under Putin is destined to failure.

With its Ukraine war, the big question to ask of Russia-- is it stupid enough to go Atomic war, which in my appraisal would end up extincting life on Earth, for we need to colonize Europa in the next 1,000 years. For our Sun has gone into a deadly Red
Giant phase. The Sun and stars shine not from fusion but from Faraday law and that is the prime reason our climate is hotter each successive year, with only minor contributions from manmade fossil fuel burning. A Atomic World War would close the window
of opportunity on making a Europa permanent colony. And all of life on Earth being burned and scorched out of existence.

It is a good sign that Russia is challenging India for a race to the South Pole of the Moon where it is expected to find water. A good sign, because it signals that Putin's Russia is still a sane Russia, and not thinking of pushing atomic war buttons.
For it is really senseless to even send up a spaceship to the Moon if you plan on pushing atomic war buttons. Why bother to go to the Moon with a Earth in atomic missile holocaust. It is a sign that some sanity still prevails over Russia.

Russia launches first space mission to Moon in 47 years.

Russia launched its first mission to the surface of the Moon in nearly half a century, in a bid to be the first country to land on the lunar south pole.
Moscow's Luna 25 mission lifted off on schedule from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in the Russian Far East.
The Moon's south pole is believed to hold deposits of water.
The Russian mission is racing against India, which sent up its own lander last month that is already orbiting the Moon.
Russia's space chief told Interfax the lander is expected to touch down on 21 August. As of earlier this week, India's Chandrayaan-3's spacecraft was due to reach the surface on 23 August.

It was a common occurrence in Ancient Greek times to visit the Oracles, the Delphi Oracle for the Temple of Apollo and ask the oracle for signs and signals of the future fate of an issue.

Perhaps the Russian Luna satellite is such a looming signal, that not only is Russia technologically inferior, that it will also lose the Ukraine invasion.

Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft crashes into Moon
This week, India plans to land a robotic probe - Chandrayaan-3 - near the south pole. (On Sunday, Russia's Luna-25, which was expected to be the first to do this, crashed into the Moon). India is also planning a joint Lunar Polar Exploration (Lupex)
mission with Japan to explore the shadowed regions or the 'dark side of the Moon' by 2026.
Why is the south pole emerging as a compelling scientific destination? Scientists say a key reason is water.

So this is a sign and signal from the Gods.That Putin's Russia is failing and will fail in Ukraine. That the technology of Putin's Russia is second rate at best.

Now with the F-16 on its way into Ukraine, it can and likely will close the war out.

Putin, 20 years ago, should have first looked at his technology and whether it was even or superior to the West's technology, before embarking on foolish campaigns.

Lesson Learned: before going to war-- make sure your technology is better than the foe.

But the West needs to speed up the entrance of the F-16 into the Ukraine airspace.

Last night on TV I heard many US pilots already trained in flying F-16s are thinking of going to Ukraine. God Bless them, for they all will become heroes in the eyes of the World. Much like the brave Poles that went to fight in the Battle of Britian in
WW2. Not only a service for England and the allies, but these pilots are a service to all of Humanity, in saving not just Ukraine, but planet Earth itself.

For, we need to colonize Europa, not be bogged down in some petty dictators conquests.
