When USS Lexington and Saratoga were converted into aircraft carriers and joined the US Navy in the twenties, aviators found that, if either carrier turned into the wind while running at 20+ knots, inattentive pilots with their engines running would simply lift vertically off the flight deck.

Russia’s obviously missing all their captured nazi scientists…

i would imagine it does still exist, just in much smaller bits than prior to its interface with the moon, i doubt the material has actually vanished
