The Russians did not win the space-race and that is why we lack knowledge pertaining its secrets!!!

Well, here I am, making a blog entry. The Earth has stopped spinning on its axis. The Sun has switched itself off. Cats and dogs are living together, sipping pina coladas and talking philosophy. This is what happens when blogs are written. But, there is a conundrum...I am not writing. I am typing.
There is a massive difference between the two, that is, that there is no pen involved in typing and there is usually one (or a similar implement) involved in writing. Suffice to say when you are writing a story, you cannot say that it is being written when a computer is being used. People would never dare say they are writing a letter when they are using a typewriter. Why do they persist in saying that they are writing when they are really typing. I don't understand the mentality. One wouldn't say that they were 'flying' into space on the space shuttle would they? They would say they were 'zooming'. That's proper astronaut terminology.
Did you know that astronauts and cosmonauts are practically the same thing. The latter are Russian and the former seem to be most everybody else. Cosmo- and astro-. That would mean that the womens magazine 'Cosmopolitan' is originally a Russian publication. The Australian version should therefore be called the 'Astropolitan'
How come cosmology, by definition, is 'the science which investigates the origin of the world' [British Empire Illustrated Dictionary Of The English Language, 1936], when astrology generally refers to a bunch of cranks trying to read messages in the stars. Cosmonauts travel out of the Earth's atmosphere to study the 'cosmos'. Sounds reasonable. Do astronauts travel outside the Earth's atmosphere to study the 'astros'? No, because there is no such thing. So, what the hell are they doing up there? It's a reasonable question. I don't believe astronauts have the right to punch holes in the atmosphere just so they can study something that isn't real. Let the cosmonauts up there to study something that is real I say! That way, we might actually learn something. Stop the barrage of false profits (hee hee hee). Send in the Russians!!!
Of course, when you look at the "naut" bit of cosmonaut and astronaut, I am assuming that it is derived from Nautili- a genus of cephalopods, including those furnished with a chambered uni-valve shell. At this point I become confused. I know not of one astronaut or cosmonaut with eight or ten tentacles and a protective ink-jet. Why is that? I do not know.
Therefore, an astronaut would be a being with eight or so tentacles, a large, cephalic head, a protective ink-sprayer and absolutely no productive reason to be in space in the first place.
A cosmonaut would be a similar being with eight or so tentacles, a large, cephalic head, a protective ink-sprayer and a valid reason for being in outer space. Cosmology, the study of the origin of the earth and the cosmos.

While we're on the subject, have you ever seen a Japanese astronaut?
