Russia unveils its plan sending humans to the moon

Yesterday, at a space and technology conference in Moscow, the head of Roscosmos Energia —Russia's version of NASA — announced: "A manned flight to the moon and lunar landing is planned for 2029."


"We have an ambition to have European astronauts on the moon," Bérengère Houdou, head of the lunar-exploration group at ESA's European Space Research and Technology Center, recently told BBC News. "There are currently discussion at international level going on for broad cooperation on how to go back to the moon."

Russia and Europe have expressed interest in establishing a permanent base on the moon, and they have already begun taking the fist steps toward this goal.
