What they were doing was decades ahead of what Americans were doing.
Then look up Von Braun's roll in the failure of Shepard to beat the Soviets to space -- a GARGANTUAN failure -- still absurdly addressed as evidence of Soviet scientific superiority 60 yrs later.. Then (if you don't want to apologize) at least tell us what you found, LakeBOY.

Your dad did a good job of carrying WVBs briefcase I’m sure.
Did the US even have militarized rocket tech at the beginning of the war?
Was you dad also involved in jet propulsion?
I hope you aren’t Jewish.

That’s fascinating.

Here is the interview of MacGregor and the segment showing the explosion is near the beginning. 30 second mark. You can continue if you want to watch MacGregor contradict himself.

I know we've crossed paths in some other space/moon threads
I absolutely won't pretend he didn't do some crash courses at Columbia, via paperclip folks, but that's clearly not what lakeboy is saying. My grandpa double majored in industrial and mechanical engineering post ww2. Aerospace was so new Montana state just didn't offer it
He did a year or 2 for standard oil of Montana, like any baw would, then off to Douglas around 1952. The rest is literally history.

Yeah, that's from November. It's been covered about 7x now

Many thanks, I was hoping that it would be new footage and shed some light on events, unfortunately it isn't.
If anyone had any belief in MacGregor's integrity then his claims based on that footage should destroy them. This is the same footage that has been used several times (including on here) across the information space to falsely claim an explosion took place on the 6th.
The footage is of an explosion that occurred back in November last year https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-63607625.
The point of view is taken facing away towards the Ukrainian side of the river from the dam's turbines as you can clearly see only the sluice cranes and none of the turbine buildings or other structures that should be present if this was facing towards the Russian side.

Russian military bloggers are now claiming that the pressure on the Zaporizhzhia front has decreased and that the Ukrainian offensive has been "almost repulsed"

Russian Sources were reporting roughly an hour ago that a Ukrainian Tank Brigade alongside Mechanized Elements had begun to Advance from the City of Orikhiv towards the City of Takmak in the Zaporizhzhia Region but after Heavy Fighting involving Russian Air and Armor Reinforcements the Attack has been Halted with claims that some Ukrainian Units had “Refused Orders” to Advance and other Units suffering Significant Casualties.

It sounds pretty horrible from everything I've seen in the past hour. Obviously not a full offensive by any means but these guys got hung out to dry it sounds like.

Actually it sounds like another wave is just starting.
Posted on 6/7/23 at 7:47 pm to StormyMcMan
Sounds like more RIF that Russia is claiming as a major offensive.
Posted on 6/7/23 at 7:48 pm to ColtRange
Yes this is not the real PMO. Only probing attacks at this time.

Iranian and Russian military officials met to discuss expelling the United States from Syria, which may indicate Russia’s intent to help facilitate Iranian-backed attacks against US forces. IRGC Quds Force and Russian military officials met in Deir ez Zor City to discuss coordinating attacks against US forces in Syria on June 6, according to local anti-Iranian outlet Eye of Euphrates.[1] CTP previously assessed that Iranian leaders are preparing to resume their campaign to expel US forces from the Middle East by attacking and killing US service members.[2] CTP cannot independently verify the details of the meeting in Deir ez Zor City. The reporting is, however, consistent with an article from the Washington Post that Iran and Russia formed a joint coordination center in Syria to expel US forces from Syria in November 2022.[3]

The last thing Iran wants to do is to try to expel us from anywhere.
