Russia and the United States have recently agreed to create a lunar orbital station called Deep Space Gateway with the support of the BRICS nations.
"We agreed that we will jointly participate in the project to create a new international lunar orbital station, Deep Space Gateway. At the first stage we will construct an orbital part with the further goal of implementing the fulfilled technologies on the moon, and later on Mars," Igor Komarov of Russia's space agency Roscosmos said, speaking at the International Astronautical Congress in Australia.

The plans on the creation of the Deep Space Gateway station were made public in spring 2016 when Russia's Energiya Corp. was reported to have cooperated with NASA on building lunar infrastructure. Energiya plans to start the construction of a lunar orbital platform by the end of 2022.

Another way of looking at this is "China can't even explore space without external help."

In Belgium all you have to do to be considered a legendary explorer is put on some shoes and go for a long walk:

This is great news.

This good news comes less than a year after the Smithsonian finally installed a monument to YURI GAGARIN -



- it is a national shame that it took this long for the United States to create a monument to Yuri Gagarin.
