I’m reading that it orbited at an altitude of up to 263 km, well above the Karman line. Is that not space?
Comment on Russia says it might build its own Linux community after removal of several kernel maintainers.

Well that’s debatable but really the point is it never did a re-entry so we really don’t know how reusable it would have been.

If it didn’t do a reentry, how did it get down from that altitude?

By landing?
Reentry doesn’t mean flying downwards it means actually coming in at a high enough speed to generate heating. Otherwise it’s just falling.

It’s just like their foxbat claims…turned out it was a flying brick.
