Russia plans manned Moon mission by 2025
MOSCOW (AFP) - Russia plans to send a manned mission to the Moon by 2025 and wants to build a permanent base there shortly after, the head of Russian space agency Roskosmos said Friday.
"According to our estimates we will be ready for a manned flight to the Moon in 2025," Anatoly Perminov told reporters. An "inhabited station" could be built there between 2027 and 2032, he said.
The only moon landing in history is NASA's Apollo expedition in 1968.
Remember how they were going to land men on Mars by 2005?
I'd treat this announcement with as much seriousness as that one.
Meanwhile, Moscow News has taken on a decidedly militant tone in the last few days:

And Putin is patching things up with China, big time.
