Russia announced its plan for a lunar colony by 2040.
Right after NASA said it was going back.
A new space race?
Hopefully it'll all be cooperative.
But I doubt it.
We've been cooperating on the ISS since the 90's, no? Despite all the goings on down here?
Literal colonization would be a whole 'nother ballgame though I wonder if it wouldn't be more like a "farther away ISS"......at least in the beginning.
