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?
echodot@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
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.

I’m pretty sure any reentry from orbit is going to involve high enough speeds to generate heating.
