Private Russian Company Proposes Lunar Base

MarkWhittington writes According to an article in Sputnik, a private Russian company called Lin Industrial has announced that it is capable of building a lunar base. However, according to information contained to a recent post in Parabolic Arc, this announcement may be more the result of idle boasting than an objective assessment of actual ability. Nevertheless, Lin seems to be one of the few entrepreneurial startups in Russia in the style of much more robust enterprises in the West such as SpaceX and Blue Origin.

This is what qualifies as "news" here these days..

Random boasting from people unable to carry them out... Well, they better not build it where all those time-share lots have been sold...

With blackjack and hookers, I presume?

Ridiculous.

me, too!1!

I, too, am capable of building a lunar base.

I just need some funding. And a rocket. And a team of trained engineers/astronauts (both, not either or).

Rocket fuel, I guess. And plans. Plans would be good.

But I am totally capable.

At the same token, in Russia, significant part of population still uses outhouses, average life expectancy of males is 50 years

Do I smell a troill? It's currently 65 years and the lowest it's been since 1950 is 58 years.
