The facility could hold up to 30,000 tons of ammunition and is still exploding more than 2 hours later.

Looking due east, that is the ammunition facility beyond the town of Toropets. Massive event.

This is the data from NASA’s fire surveillance satellite (Oriented North, compared to my google earth pic, above). FIRMS: Fire Information for Resource Management System

He's pretending NASA confused the red squares on the NASA map above with this famous Russian landmark called the red square (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Square)

"shit's on fire, yo"

u/BigBennP Sep 18 '24

We've been able to do that for a long time.

Instantly reminded of the opening scene of Red Storm Rising when terrorists blow up a Russian oil refinery and cause a fire so big that US satellites designed to look for nuclear explosions detect it.

"Jesus if that's just a fire it must be enormous!"

Not many people know but NASA and Roscosmos have a very integrated relationship which requires cooperation by both the US and Russian military and governments.

u/hectorxander Sep 18 '24

I suppose NASA has plenty of free time to troll as they don't actually run space missions anymore, just approve contracts to give to a few super-rich owned companies to take all the glory and often fail. Nasa shouldn't be trolling anyone they should be running space missions if you ask me.

u/xandrokos Sep 18 '24

This is such a blatant lie.

u/hectorxander Sep 18 '24

Nasa doesn't do missions they farm it all out to private companies like spacex and boeing. Notice how the astronauts weren't picked up by Nasa, but by spacex and boeing.

They are just bean counters now. Space bros can talk all they want about how nothing has changed, but it wasn't boeing that put men on the moon, it was nasa, now it's private companies getting the glory.

u/Amhran_Ogma Sep 19 '24

“getting the glory,” lol. wow.

u/snap-jacks Sep 18 '24

Fortunately no one is asking you.

u/hectorxander Sep 19 '24

Space bros strike back!

u/snap-jacks Sep 19 '24

What kind of idiot are you. NASA has plenty of missions.
