Which episode was it where the drunken cosmonauts are on a runaway
moon mobile and it almost crashes into Moonbase? Did the Russians have
a permanent moonbase in the episode? Would be ironic.
Russia planning moon mission
MOSCOW, Aug. 31 (UPI) -- Russia says it will send cosmonauts to the
moon by 2025, with plans for a permanent manned base.
Anatoly Perminov, head of the space agency, said a manned flight to
Mars is scheduled for after 2035. He said Russia will have 103
satellites in orbit by the end of the year, RIA Novosti reported Friday.
Perminov said the first Russian will make a tourist flight from
Baikonur to the International Space Station in 2009.
The man, whose name was not disclosed, is a young Russian businessman
and politician.
Tickets for tourist space flights, priced at around $30 million, are a
major source of revenue for the agency, RIA Novosti said.
