That's not uncommon, if it's a good design I guess.

Natural Gas as a fuel seems interesting, low emissions and Environmentally Friendly! :sunny:

I guess if it is cheap but still reliable, it can't be a bad thing.

^ Sure, but still it looks like a 1:1 copy of Musk's SpaceX rocket program :o

Maybe anyone can build an exact Sputnik copy just to show 'em :D

We'll get fingers crossed for Roskosmos to meet all the declared deadlines.
