Russia Cancels All Moon Missions Till 2025 (sputniknews.com)
schwit1 writes: Faced with a shrinking budget and poor economic conditions, Russia has once again trimmed back its proposed ten-year space plan for the next decade in space, canceling all Moon missions until after 2025. Russian might now have a giant government-run aerospace corporation, but flying space missions is not really its primary task. Like all government agencies divorced from profit and loss, its primary task is really to provide pork barrel jobs, regardless of whether those jobs do anything useful or not. Thus, Russia will have a very expensive space program for the next decade, but the money spent will not accomplish much of anything new.
Modded Offtopic? Seriously?
The reality is that manned space missions are a relic of the past.
Full of hate toward Russia and little knowledge about outside what MSM told you about!
And, NO, the Russia's propaganda report all the events of bad economy to their people:

Just watching how Avakov and Yatseniuk was in fight with Saakashvili early this month. And Saakashvili's report on Yatseniuk corruption, etc.
Don't you know about the 'lustration' law which bans ALL officials worked for old government without judgment.
Corrupt fascist oligarch Putin have not billion dollars like "democrazy" president Poroshenko, who have more money after the "revolution", who vowed to "against" oligarchs (like himself).
Ukraine which the West region like Lvov, where Bandera is much worshiped, was part of Poland, which Stalin captured. Other part of the W. Ukraine was the result of expansion of Czars.
The E. Ukraine was the Russian land before Lenin and Khruschev merged to Ukraine.
While you so much hate Russia, and Russian people, the Russians seems to be more balanced. Even the so-called "propaganda" machine RT list SpaceX as one of the most breakthrough events in 2015:
