Funny the difference in culture.

I wouldn't want to wear the suit unless it was absolutely necessary, either.

What does this have to do with differences in culture? The Russians are far too barbaric and primitive a people to have space technology. Any pictures stating otherwise are Communist propaganda, and judging by that one they've given up on even trying. Everyone knows this.

I don't get it. Are we talking about how the Russians don't have an Asian chick or black chick?

 

[RaistlinZ]

Are those Diesel jeans he's wearing?

 

[Jeff7]

Or else they're not so willing to pay their astronauts for the time it takes to suit up, and then get all nicely organized and such just for a photo op.

Is that why in about 1-2 years we're going to be dependent on them for manned space travel?

Exactly. This stuff costs money and time, which is also money!

The Russians aren't suited up. What's the big deal? Maybe it was just a casual photo?

But that kind of thinking doesn't allow for nationalistic ego stroking.

 

[Narmer]

I'll take the Japanese and black chicks, please.

 

[ShawnD1]

[waggy]

ok yeah i know its a troll thread.


But wtf? who cares how they take a photo? Personally i think all them are amazing and aspiring people.

 

[TehMac]

That Japanese astronaut is pretty cute.

 

[freakflag]

Dude. If personal photo attire is the only criteria you're using as a comparison between 2 cultures, I'm a f@cking Russian. Plus, I'd bang the hell outta that little Red slut in free fall. Glasnost, baby.

 

[gaidensensei]

I think I've got it. OP doesn't like the panoramic background photo. Plus the USA has got the insignia on it.

She's an american. We catch rides on the Soyuz.....

 

[TheVrolok]

I don't get it.

 

[ZippyDan]

I'm going to make a guess at this: in Russia, the men don't bare their teeth when smiling?

I don't imagine it is the space suits vs. shirts because there are plenty of U.S. space mission pictures without space suits.

 

[PottedMeat]

Russians have a mural of Discovery?

Maybe they shot the Soyuz photo in the US during training or something?

 

[Hacp]

Wait, why is there an American flag in the Russian background(middle left)? This makes no sense.
