🛰️ Space Race Fatalities Comparison: Soviet Union vs United States

Key Takeaways

• 🇺🇸 U.S. suffered more astronaut fatalities, including test pilots and training accidents.
• 🇷🇺 Soviets had higher total human losses, especially among engineers and soldiers during explosive launch and fuel testing incidents.
• 🔥 The Apollo 1 fire led to sweeping design and safety reforms in NASA.
• 🚨 The Soyuz 1 and Soyuz 11 tragedies were fatal in-flight accidents; Soyuz 11 remains the only in-space human fatality.
• 🕵️ The Nedelin disaster, one of the worst rocket catastrophes in history, killed over 100 but was kept secret for decades.
• 🧾 Transparency and institutional accountability were key differences: NASA publicly investigated accidents; the USSR often concealed failures.

• Operation Condor: right wing dictators in South America repressing leftists with the support of Americans and possibly the French
• Gladio: Post WWII Allied Forces and then NATO intelligence operations to delegitimize and destabilize leftist groups in Eastern Europe from end of WWII through the 1990s
• Ranch Hand: US led effort to destroy the foliage and agricultural land in Vietnam to deprive the Viet Cong of food and places to stage attacks
• PBSuccess: CIA led coup d’état in Guatemala at the request of the United Fruit Company (now Chiquita)
• Phoenix Program: CIA led effort to infiltrate the Viet Cong

rysnc might be a faster and more reliable option. It can compress the files for transfer and does checksums after the transfer is complete

I used something like this to transfer 12 TB from offsite to onsite with zero failures

rsync -arvzip --progress /path/to/host /path/to/destination

You can set up a screen and let this run in the background all the time
