Space-age earnings and space-age wealth. ⠀ A new investigation is already up on my YouTube channel (link to the full version in my profile and Stories). This time, we’ll show you how people profit from the space industry. ⠀ And I want to draw special attention to one detail. Sure, there’s corruption, everything gets looted, and so on. ⠀ But salaries. After all, it’s Putin and his government that approve the pay system. Look: ⠀ Salary of the head of Roscosmos (Russia’s state space corporation) — 23.5 million rubles a year Salary of the head of NASA — 16 million rubles a year Salary of an engineer at Roscosmos — 60,000 rubles/month Salary of an engineer at NASA — 430,000 rubles/month ⠀ Are you still surprised that Russia has fallen behind in space not only compared with the U.S. and the EU, but even with the Chinese?
