Japan and Russia Reveal Their Plans For Permanent Moon Bases
Colonizing the moon was once upon a time laughed at as a joke, but as time goes on it becomes more and more of a reality.
Japan and Russia revealed plans to establish bases on our planet’s satellite.
“We’re not talking about repeating what mankind achieved 40 years ago,” said Vladimir Popovkin, head of Russian space agency Roscosmos. “We’re talking about establishing permanent bases.” And while he gave no timeframe for it, we imagine it would be some time after 2030, which is Roscosmos’s target date for a manned moon landing. Japanese space agency JAXA has similar plans, and who knows — if the first batch of lunar inhabitants are lucky enough, the agency may decide to bring Domino’s along for the ride.
