Russia's Moon And Mars Exploration Ambitions Hobbled By A Lack Of Money (phys.org)

MarkWhittington writes: Phys.Org reports that the ambitions of the Russian Space Agency continue to exceed its financial wherewithal to carry them out. A Russian rocket is due to launch the first element of the European ExoMars program, which consists of the Trace Gas Orbiter and the Italian-built Schiaparelli lander, in March. Both are due to arrive at Mars in October. After that, Russia's space exploration plans are a bit hazy, hobbled by a lack of money.

    Doesn't need any money. He will build a free university on Mars for all black and brown people. And it'll be free.

    You've got it all wrong. Donald Trump is going to build a rocket to Mars. And he's going to make the Martians pay for it!

    "Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
