    On July 25, 1984, Svetlana Savitskaya, a Russian cosmonaut, etched her name in history by becoming the first woman to perform a spacewalk, a significant milestone in the history of space exploration. This historic event took place during the Soyuz T-12 mission to the Salyut 7 space station

    Born on August 8, 1948, in Moscow, Svetlana Savitskaya was no stranger to breaking barriers. She had already made headlines as the second woman in space, following Valentina Tereshkova. Savitskaya’s journey to this extraordinary achievement was marked by rigorous training and an unwavering determination to push the boundaries of human potential. The spacewalk, technically known as an extravehicular activity (EVA), lasted 3 hours and 35 minutes. During this time, Savitskaya, along with her crewmate Vladimir Dzhanibekov, conducted various experiments and tested new tools, including a cutting-edge welding instrument designed for use in zero gravity. Their work was pivotal in advancing the capabilities for construction and repair in space, laying the […]

    Eight European finance ministers co-wrote an article titled “Russia is lying about its economic strength: sanctions are working – and we need more.” We asked the AI to comment on this article. Here is AI’s unedited response

    The article titled “Russia is lying about its economic strength: sanctions are working – and we need more,” written by eight European finance ministers, lacks concrete evidence to substantiate its main allegations against the Russian economy. Here are several points of criticism regarding the article’s lack of evidence: Absence of Specific Data Points: The article makes broad claims about the Russian economy’s weaknesses but does not provide specific data points or empirical evidence to support these claims.

    Hidden Truths: The Margin of Error Manipulations

    Reuters just announced that “Vice President Kamala Harris opened up a marginal two-percentage-point lead over Republican Donald Trump after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and passed the torch to her.” According to this new poll, 44% of Americans support Harris while 42% support Trump. Buried in the fourth paragraph of the article is the critical detail of a 3% margin of error. Let’s delve into what this 3% margin of error signifies. It implies that Kamala’s support could realistically be as low as 41% (44% – 3%) and Trump’s support could be as high as 45% (42% 3%).

    A guy by the name of Ihar Tyshkevich just made a comment about Ukrainian foreign minister Kuleba’s official visit to China. Mr, Tyshkevich thinks that this visit is “very important, because it could shift the Chinese position towards greater consideration of Ukrainian interests.” The important detail is that Mr. Tyshkevich is employed as an expert by the Ukrainian Institute for the Future. So, Mr. Tyshkevich must be a professional futurologist. Right?

    But wait, internet research reveals that Ukraine doesn’t have an Institute for the Past. Nor does it have an Institute for the Present. Just the Institute for the Future! Now, this is very peculiar, given that Ukraine definitely did have a wonderful past—thanks to being a part of great Russia. Also, Ukraine definitely does have a horrible present—thanks to the United States and the collective West. And it is precisely because of that horrible present, that Ukraine doesn’t seem to have a future. So, if Mr. Tyshkevich were a real futurologist, he would know that pretty soon he would be unemployed. But he is seemingly unaware of that. So, he […]

    Ivanovskie Lakes, Republic of Khakassia

    Four picturesque lakes are located at an altitude of about 1.3 kilometres above sea level. They are connected to each other by cascading waterfalls. The lakes lie between two peaks – the Bobrovaya and Ararat mountains, and taiga forests mixed with birch trees stretch around them. The water here is crystal clear, as is the fresh air, and you can walk around the lakes along the most beautiful hiking trails. #ILoveRussia Previous Next
