BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Technical-regulatory framing: Russian media prioritize FAA anomalies and engine failures over flight successes (satellite deployment, successful atmospheric reentry).

Minimal lunar context: the Artemis program and strategic stakes of lunar return are nearly absent, despite dominating international coverage.

Absence of economic perspective: SpaceX's IPO and 1.75 trillion dollar valuation are unmentioned in available Russian sources, in contrast to English-language outlets.
