    A couple years back, Putin promised to put a Russian on the moon. A good question is “with what rocket?”

    Turns out, an even better question is “with what communications system?” A factor in this crash is that they lack a round-the-world comm system. They can only communicate when the moon is visible over Russia. It’s a big country, of course, but not big enough for 24/7 communication.
