Dmitri, I'm not going to endorse your UFO-related posting because such topics have been declared taboo here and I don't see much to gain by discussing them anyway. Nevertheless, regarding the personal insults directed at you and your family, you have to realize that Russian efficiency in space is despised by NASA huggers / governmental central planning advocates [and tax leeches] in the US. As you know, your native country hasn't lost a life in space in several decades even as your Soyuz launches cost around 25 times LESS than the ones on the murderous Shuttle. Your very presence here is a threat to some because it reminds some folks of sad but highly apparent truths. Rather than confront the truth, they'd prefer to have an ad hominem orgy against you that might make us all seem racist...but we're not. Indeed, please don't think that all of us share in such maliciously hostile sentiments towards you or even towards your choosing to discuss a topic that pertains to space. Some of us are very glad that the Russians are achieving what NASA can't (i.e. take us to the space station that some claimed we needed instead of privatized Mir). But as for the UFO topic, I think you can agree that there are a lot of poorly conceived ideas floating around about UFO's. This website was appropriately created to provide a refuge from such usually NONCOMPELLING, unintriguing discussions. I do apologize if you also feel unwelcome to discuss favorable contributions that Russia can hopefully continue to make regarding entrepreneurially opening up the space frontier though. I can't imagine that any patriot would NOT be eager to try and learn from you in that respect. Might you have any feedback for us in that respect?
