Russia plans to land its first cosmonauts on the moon before 2030, and Europe will team up with them. The mission is an admirable push for the reignited interest in manned deep-space travel. The head of Roscosmos Energia — the NASA of Russia — announced at a space and technology conference in Moscow that a manned flight to the moon and lunar landing was planned for 2029. The European Space Agency, which made history last year by landing the first spacecraft on a comet, will team up with Moscow. Russia and Europe have expressed interest in establishing a permanent base on the moon, and they have already begun taking the first steps toward this goal. Last month, Roscosmos announced that it will send a lander, Luna 25, to the moon's south pole in 2024. After touchdown, the lander will investigate the lunar surface for future lunar bases. While Europe and Russia raise their collective eyes to the moon, NASA continues its quest for a farther, more dangerous mission: Mars, according to media reports. -amh
