Interesting, in modern Russian the word "Патетический" means full of Pathos (highly emotional rhetoric). Still not the same tint of meaning as in English.

Last summer I have seen and photographed this sign near a toilet flush button in a train from Moscow to St. Petersburg: And this pic (hotel door signs from Bryansk) I've just found on the net: Did you find any other confusing translations in non-English countries?

1. This thing failed: 2. Nozzles could not gimbal due to loss of hydro pressure.. 3. The guidance fell back to emergency withdrawal & shutdown mode after mandatory 20 seconds of thrusting necessary to clear the pad.

Is it decreasing radar cross section by making a stealth fighter out of a tiny training jet? ;) Hope it can lift 2 heat-seeker missiles...

That was an R-7 family (designed for launching in harsh conditions), and the launch complex wasn't rocking... We'll see.

How strong a gust should be to throw 460 tonnes aside at 9.81 m/s^2 acceleration? :blink: Maybe I've not seen enough gusts in my life, but...

The rocket's tail could hit parts of the launch pad during the lift-off due to plaform's rocking on waves.

An NK forum user who knows Zenit well says (http://novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/forum/messages/forum12/topic13320/message1027141/#message1027141): "It would take a tilt of more that 15 deg from vertical to make the guidance fall back into emergency withdrawal manoeuvre".

Is Gangnam Style transmission audible at some frequency on the second orbit, yet? :rofl:

Phew, at last! :) :thumbup:

Thus making themselves just a second country in history conducting a manned suborbital launch on purpose! But who knows if this is their real plan.

Hoping for the best with your exam!

Mine is 8, turning 9 next February. No solid preference. :lol: Can do herself a makeup, take a fluffy toy and crash her school bag onto annoying boy's head. :lol:
