so ill ask again obviously repeating the same boring statement over and over is the only way you will understand anything:
if the Russians have a glass ceiling at 475km and that at an altitude of 476km any russian astronaut will immediately die.. they must only be Russian, any other nationality doesnt have this limit only the russians as is demonstrated by the russians themselves never having sent any russian astronaut beyond 475km..
Are you prepared to quote mine me and prove that I made the claim what you say I said there? Specifically this:
if the Russians have a glass ceiling at 475km and that at an altitude of 476km any russian astronaut will immediately die..
Did I really say that choos?
How do you know it was the real Buzz?
one of my best memories from school days was meeting Buzz Aldren. He came to our school
Now, why would he do that?
Gemini X reached an orbit that measured 763 kilometers at the top and 294 kilometers at the bottom. The Agena had pushed the spacecraft more than 463 kilometers above its initial apogee. Young and Collins now viewed Earth from a higher elevation than any human beings ever had.
At entry into orbit, Gemini X trailed its Agena by 1,800 kilometers. Flight Director Lunney told the crew they were all set for a fourth-orbit rendezvous. Collins unstowed a Kollsman sextant to sight on selected stars for an attempt at optical navigation. Young pointed the spacecraft while his crewmate tried to find the horizon. Collins realized that he was using the wrong reference when he saw stars below the line. He had been mistaking the airglow, a band of radiant light from the upper atmosphere, for the horizon. Even after he corrected this, Collins could not get the lens of the sextant to work properly, as the optical image of the stars did not agree with what he had been taught. He laid the Kollsman aside and tried an Ilon instrument, but that was little help as the Ilon had a severely limited field of view.
and Jim also has a record altitude of 8,000 feet..
does that mean jim and his family have a "jim's glass ceiling" of 8,000 feet??
As an historical note: the Gemini X altitude records were created unintentionally because of the problems they had with the Agena rendezvous.

again distract and detract.. this proves you understand that your own argument is illogical.. your "russian glass ceiling" is a fallacy and now you realise it..
well done it just took you several months to realise.. everyone moves at their own pace i guess.

How can the Russian Glass Ceiling be a fallacy? I showed you the proof on astronautix. Are you saying that astronautix is wrong?
