Bad bot. You skipped the main part:

"At first it was called Ehfir," Putin said. "And at one of my public speeches I was talking and said it was Sfera. I arrived at the Kremlin, and the former Roscosmos head greeted me and said, 'Vladimirovich, you said it was project Sfera, Sfera you said. That's what it is, project Sfera.'"

When you do something to try and make your boss happy, but he just thinks you're an idiot.

I can’t tell from that quote if he was impressed or disappointed
