| Russia is Returning to the Moon, Paving the Way for a Crewed Landing |
| 2015-09-04 |
| h/t Instapundit In recent years, Roscosmos has largely concentrated on crewed missions, struggling to get a spaceprobe to its intended destination. But Luna 25 hopes to change that. The moon probe, set to launch in 2024, will mark a return to the moon for Russia, which hasn't landed a probe on the moon since 1976. It's a surveyor for an even bigger goal: a crewed landing and lunar base. I wonder what form Russian Outreach to Islam would take? |

| #2 This is like the third time Russia has announced a return to the moon. The other two didn't seem to happen but certainly this one will be on schedule and on budget and isn't just propaganda for Russian consumption. |
