Russians to take a giant leap for the space program

Russia is planning to put a man on the Moon, and anyone can apply to join the crew. The Russian Space Agency, Roscosmos, may have suffered some humiliating setbacks in recent months, but it’s hitting back by aiming even higher.

blahblahblah....im a fat socialist pig.
The USA has been to the moon. USSR lost the space race last century. Stop crying about it and maybe one day you to will move forward from the 1960s.
Lived long enough to convince myself; there is nothing that comes from the USA I can trust. However, Russia MUST live to its fairly earned reputation.
I feel really sorry for those who don't believe that the USA got to the moon. Remember that there has been six manned landings on the moon (between 1969-1972). The things the US achieved was a hugely important for the evolution of human kind and showed that even the moon is now a part of the human world. Those who don't believe that the US was there need to stop reading old Soviet propaganda.
Landing on Moon, ha,ha! Only if Archons let you land on their Space Ship keeping Earthlings on check!

When I say something learn to read behind the sentances... we, if not all some, know what the moon really is - David Icke.
After being light years behind Russia and after fiascos, crashes or just rockets blowing up right after start, suddenly a perfect trip to the moon?
Not in my .... USA desperatly needed a "victory" and Holywood made it.
A future non-anglo-american landing will definitly proove that.
The NASA Moon landings were real enough. When this new breed of cosmonauts go to the Moon, they can bring back samples. Being first to visit a place is one thing, establishing a colony there is far more ambitious. I wish this venture all the success possible.
Colonizing the Moon provides an opportunity to advance into the rest of the solar system the way that makes sense. Step 1 -- colonize // Step 2 -- build bauxite mining, smelting, and foundry // Step 3 -- launch components into Moon orbit // Step 4 -- assemble LMO space station with shipyard // Step 5 -- construct massive spacecraft in the V. Putin Moon Spaceport // Step 6 -- launch first Putin-class spacecraft to Mars orbit // Step 7 -- repeat from Step 1, target Neptune
IIRC, there are liquid seas of methane on one of the Moons of Mars (Titan?), with another covered in frozen water. From Mars, the Asteroid Belt could be mined for thousands of years for their nickle and steel. The possibilities are nearly endless. Space is vast ...
"The NASA Moon landings were real enough"
Sure, any fairy tale can be experianced "real enough" but without firm evidence for anyone to see they are just that. There are many fairy tales in United bluff of america....
When the Soviets sent the first satellite into orbit, that led to massive changes in the elitist apartheid educational system of the US. Will they have another "Sputnik effect" if the Russians go to the moon sometime in the (far away) future?
In the last 10-15 years i'v seen to many big idea's proposed by russia that never got anywhere,
No matter how much id like to see it , sorry cant see it happening.
Id prefer to see a mission to mars instead anyway,
Although i do think a lunar orbit station would be the next best step,
gain more experiance in:
- orbit to orbit flight (manned)
- long duration beyond earth orbit
- testing shielding against radiaton outside of earth's protective magnetic field
- refeuling (fuel depot added?)

Dan Aykroyd's character "Mother" exposed the moon landing as a fake in the movie "Sneakers" way back in 1992. How can you call it Soviet propaganda?
Gordon Bennett!! ha ha, would anybody be brave enough to strap themselves into a Russian made moon lander ? Not me that's for sure! Unless of course they asked for American know how. Convinced Russia's just not got the technical ability.
“Man should return to the Moon. And not just like in 1969, to leave a mark. We can do important work there – such as building astrology labs and observing the Sun,” Vladimir Popovkin, head of Roscosmos, told the Ekho Moskvy radio station.
Did he really say "astrology labs"?

Yes, he did!!!
The main reason for visiting the Moon is to build Astrology, Numerology, and Alchemy experimentation centers in Outer Space, where they are not hemmed in by the gravity laws of Earth.
This will be the VERY FIRST time that anyone has EVER walked on the Moon, since Neil Armstrong's entire voyage was shot in a Hollywood Film Studio!
No man has yet set foot on the moon, the US moon landing was faked as is widely known now. It's abundantly clear to anyone with half a brain as the technology simply didn't exist in the sixties beyond Normal 0 surveillance flights to the moon. The engineers who worked on the project knew it which some have openly expressed since. Besides, the US is famous for lying about everything, covering up, and manipulating history.
