“#\u2018My opinion of people is low\u2019<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n They\u2019re on to us.<\/p>\n

A humanoid robot astronaut with a fierce social-media presence was removed from Twitter<\/a> after publicly accusing two former cosmonauts of getting drunk during a recent turn on the International Space Station, The Independent reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, the sassy space robot is being implicated in a Russian political scandal.<\/p>\n

Officially known as Skybot F-850, or Fedor \u2014 short for \u201cFinal Experimental Demonstration Object Research\u201d \u2014 the high-flying robot was recently sent to the ISS via a Russian Soyuz capsule that launched from Kazakhstan on August 20.<\/p>\n

Fedor served only 10 days aboard the ISS before being brought back to Earth, after researchers realized the bot could not properly walk in microgravity.<\/p>\n

By then, the robo-naut already had a \u201cbad bot\u201d reputation, thanks to former Russian deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin, now head of Russia\u2019s Roscosmos space program, who shared videos prior to launch that depicted Fedor driving a car, weight lifting and shooting guns.<\/p>\n

Fedor\u2019s popularity on social media had taken on a life of its own until a few days ago, when it publicly turned on former colleagues, veteran cosmonauts and politicians Maxim Suraev and Alexander Samokutyayev.<\/p>\n

\u201cRobots, unlike Suraev and Samokutyayev, are not susceptible to weaknesses, do not violate the dry law at the orbital station, do not speak nonsense, complete the flight task completely and without comment and do not seek to leave the cosmonaut corps for a place in the State Duma,\u201d tweeted Fedor, as reported by Ars Technica on Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy opinion of people is low,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

Fedor\u2019s timing raises concerns<\/a> over a controversy between Roscosmos members and Rogozin, including Suraev and Samokutyayev, who have publicly criticized their leader.<\/p>\n

On Twitter, Suraev suggested that Rogozin wasn\u2019t investing enough in Russian space travel<\/a> \u2014 juxtaposing Space X\u2019s sleek space digs with Russia\u2019s own app<\/a>arently cramped vessel.<\/p>\n

Rogozin has denied any involvement in Fedor\u2019s antics and has intimated that the bot was using Twitter of its own volition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a question for us, you need to contact Fedor and write to him,\u201d Rogozin told the media, according to the Independent.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Samokutyayev told Russian website Rise<\/a> that he may press charges, and also maintained there is no alcohol aboard the ISS.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am outraged because of this insult. I will go to court, I will not let this go, and Maxim Suraev, too. We are heroes of Russia \u2026 This is a matter of jurisdiction,\u201d he said, via Google Translate.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
