FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“But it is hard to find a better way to hurt Russian prestige and emphasise
Russian technological backwardness than by sending cosmonauts to the Moon
around 2030, 60 years after Apollo.”
Mr Karash said resources would be better spent on funding a manned flight to
Mars, which would stimulate science because of the demand for new technology
to serve a 450-day round trip to the Red Planet.
The Soviet Union had two Moon programmes which it closed in the 1970s after
the success of Apollo 11. The US knew about them, but their existence was
not admitted publicly until 1990.
In the post-Soviet era, Russia has co-operated with other countries on Mir and
the International Space Station (ISS). It currently shoulders the burden of
shuttling supplies to the ISS in Soyuz capsules. Vladimir Putin, Russia’s
prime minister and president-elect, wants to restore Russia’s space
programme to its former glory.
Speaking last year on the 50th anniversary of Gagarin’s flight, he said:
“Russia should not limit itself to the role of an international space
ferryman.”
Mr Putin said piloted space missions should be revived by 2018, when the first
flights are expected from Vostochny, a $13.5 billion (£8.6 billion)
spaceport being built in Russia’s far east.
The Soviet Union, the United States and China are the only countries so far to
have launched manned space flights. India’s space agency declared in 2010
that it wanted to launch a human mission to the Moon by 2020, and scientists
have indicated that China could do the same by 2025.
Barack Obama, the US president, said in 2010 that he hoped to send astronauts
to Mars by the 2030s, but he cut funding for robotic missions to the planet
last month. He also cancelled George W Bush’s plan to return astronauts to
the Moon by 2020.
Scientists believe that precious metals and Helium-3, a rare isotope that has
potential for power generation, could be extracted from the Moon’s surface.
Roskosmos has also suggested that a base built on the Moon could be used as
a launch pad for a flight to Mars.
