Russia: First manned moon mission - Business Insider
Before 2030, Russia plans to land its first cosmonauts on the moon, and Europe wants a piece of the action.
They're a little late for the great space race of the 1960s, but the mission is an admirable push for the reignited interest in manned deep-space travel.
