"Soviet scientists, under intense government pressure, had essentially made their rocket out of spit and band aids, and hurried to hide their work as soon as their worldwide demonstration was complete"
HOLY SHIT! Based Soviet Union defeated the evil empire with spit and band aids.
this "disaster supply chain" lasted beyond the collapse of the government and was delivering US astronauts to the ISS long after NASA lost that capacity
Soviet machines barely worked which is why the Soyuz has a pathetic safety record compared to the space shuttle. Hang on, I'm getting a memo.
"Ah, you silly leftist, you forget that there could be many dead cosmonauts we don't know about! Did you think about that?! Heh, the Soviets made everything secret, they must have killed many!
"
Cosmonauts die on the way down. Astronauts die on the way up.
