My point isn&#x27;t a us vs them as much as it was showing that the early Soyuz program did results in fatalities and as such posting a curt &quot;No, this is wrong&quot; is fairly disingenious.<p>Also, the USSR engaged in cover-ups fairly routinely. The Nedelin disaster was covered up for 39 years, for example. This cost nearly 200 ground crew lives.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Nedelin_catastrophe" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Nedelin_catastrophe</a><p>&gt;The Apollo program killed three astronauts before they even left the pad.<p>Again, this is public record. Again, the USSR was very dishonest with its space program. Having people still parrot their propaganda is ridiculous in this day and age. There is still a lot we don&#x27;t know about the daily ins and outs of their program and pretending none of this happened is extremely disingenuous.
