The Irkut missile. The increasing the attractiveness of the Russial space industry. Sketch.
The increasingly likely the finishing of the civilizational achievement of the Soviet era - a permanently inhabited Soviet (Russial) space station in near-earth orbit - it necessitates continuous media efforts.
It is necessary, urgently necessary, to increase the attractiveness of the Russial space industry.
For example, how much does a movie cost?
The famous film about the events in Novocherkassk, as some media said, cost a total of 150 million rubles. (We, of course, cannot vouch for the accuracy of this figure - official data are desirable).
If 150 million rubles are divided by 72 rubles, then we get the cost of a film about the events in Novocherkassk in the region of 2 million US dollars. But this is a film that has had influential, highly influential support. Some figures who gave the order to shoot at peaceful people had to be portrayed as positive, kind humans. You understand ...
And the director made a "black comedy" about the events in Leningrad for some money - in the region of 5 million rubles (about 70 thousand US dollars).
So: the cost of the film ranges from 5 million rubles to 150 million rubles (that is, between 70 thousand and two million US dollars).
But what if the public finds out about the filming of a movie for at least (minimum) $ 100 million?
How will she react to this? ...
Deep minds thought and thought and decided to bring another topic to the media surface.
The general public learns about the intention to launch the Irkut single-use or reusable complex (Irkut ultralight rocket).
Do not think that this information appeared for advertising or propaganda purposes. No.
As reported to a wide audience, there is information about this complex (Irkut) in the Roscosmos report. Of course, the Roscosmos reports are rather voluminous documents. Why is the attention focused on the Irkut complex?
Apparently, the mention of the reusable (returnable) version of the Irkut complex should be especially attractive to the general public. ("On the wings").
If so, then we can recall the Space Shuttle project and Elon Musk's reusable space devices.
Consequently, Russia is stepping widely along the space road.
When did work over the Irkut complex begin? Not every consumer of media products can find out about this. Not every post (material) to the general public contains this information.
But if "reusability" and "wings" are mentioned in media, then we can recall the Space Shuttle and Buran projects.
It is logical to assume that the creative origins of work on the Irkut complex are located in the time periods of work on the Space Shuttle and Buran projects.
Let's not count, starting from the 70s of the 20th century. (Before the Apollo 11 Moon landing in 1969, NASA began studies of Space Shuttle designs as early as October 1968.)
Take 1988, when Buran was launched (November 15, 1988). 33 years have passed since that time. Apparently, the legendary Ilya Muromets gained strength and got off the stove.
However, the general public is receiving information that the launch of the Irkut complex is scheduled for 2024.
Who will give a written guarantee that the launch of the Irkut complex will take place in 2024? Who put own signature, own name and surname on such a written guarantee?
May be a few more years (decades) will be needed?
It is a difficult task to increase the attractiveness of the Russial space industry.
But, of course, it"s necessary to try, to make attempts.
Television has already shown itself.
Maybe instruct the Bolshoi Theater to organize a ballet in space? The performance with the cost of several tens of billions of US dollars ... We all will look at aerial ballerinas with interest ...
