Space Forum / Space History / April 2004Comrades! To Mars!
I read it in Pravda, so it must be true: http://english.pravda.ru/main/2002/04/01/27272.html Now _this_ is a crash program! :-) Pat > I read it in Pravda, so it must be true: > http://english.pravda.ru/main/2002/04/01/27272.html > Now _this_ is a crash program! :-) Check the date! > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Check the date! Red Lies! That's what I say. The article was written last week, then sent back two years via the Antarctic Time Vortex. Pat > Red Lies! That's what I say.

Dave Chappelle did a bit on "Black Bush" a couple weeks ago, and the Mars plan made an appearence as a distraction from Iraq. I thought that was a bit odd, as according to some in these groups, the public could care less about space.

Aw, you've seen the light and moved to sunny Perth - where I am :) Perhaps you still live closer to Antarctica - I'm in the civilised north of the river. >> >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Red Lies!

Do they celebrate that day over there? Trying to tell a Pravda joke from a Pravda serious story is about as difficult as finding Stalin's sense of mercy.

"Son of a bitch is down there somewhere." -- Alan Ruck, _Ferris Bueller's Day Off_. > Do they celebrate that day over there? They do. There's even a children's jingle that goes: "Pervyi Aprel - //Nikomu ne ver'", meaning: April First - Trust no one. As for Pravda, it isn't what it used to be. Like the old grey mare. > I read it in Pravda, so it must be true: > http://english.pravda.ru/main/2002/04/01/27272.html > Now _this_ is a crash program! :-) Notice the date on the article.

It's even a part of the URL: >/2002/04/01 That's still a pretty impressive timeline though, don't you think? By now the mystery spacecraft must be ready to undergo short test flights, say to the Moon and back. Pravda nowadays is the National Enquirer of Russia- ever hear of the time vortex at the South Pole? http://english.pravda.ru/science/19/94/379/12190_experiment.html How about the woman and the alien? http://english.pravda.ru/science/19/94/378/12092_alien.html Red Army versus UFO? http://english.pravda.ru/science/19/94/378/11873_UFO.html Pat > >Notice the date on the article.
