You brought it up. I have been talking about structural issues with long term core modules. And that is clearly a Russian issue.

I think you're confusing me with the OP, which in fairness I didn't read.

Nothing in the Russian space program in the last few decades have been as dangerous as Boeings little fiasco. Yes, the modules have long term problems, but they're built by the Russians because they have the most experience in space living quarters.

Look at space mission fatalities, the least Soviet/Russian one was in 1971 and that includes the 90s.

Thats 55 years

The US since then has had two shuttle disintegrations, the latest in 2003 when the US gave up launching astronauts for a few decades.

Space is hard.
