I was planning to , since I had to take the cover off to get newspaper behind it to protect the radiator anyways , but I realized that Plasti dip just peels off really easily , so no real reason to <| sep |> and i understood your reference <| sep |> Today mine was Dayman ! Ahahaaaah . from IASIP <| sep |> You too ! But it ' s already Friday gmt . <| sep |> First pull ! !!!! Too . <| sep |> Yeah you ' re right . <| sep |> Soviets used more conventional designs and never figured out how to build a rocket large enough to get men to the Moon . US went a different route design wise that lead to more early failures , but ultimately solved the large rocket problem and went to the Moon repeatedly . The Russians are essentially flying the same rockets they have been for decades . They are solid , reliable peoplecargo movers to low earth orbit . The US had a better design , capable to doing things beyond low earth orbit , but never evolved it significantly and eventually just stopped using them altogether . The US has been hitchhiking on Russian rockets ever since .
