Russia plans manned Moon mission by 2025
“Russia plans to send a manned mission to the Moon by 2025 and wants to build a permanent base there shortly after, the head of Russian space agency Roskosmos said Friday . . . The only moon landing in history is NASA’s Apollo expedition in 1968.“
Uhm, Earth to the AFP — there were a total of six successful moon landings, thank you very much. Great effort and sacrifice went into the Apollo space program, with several astronauts even losing their lives in the effort of getting to the moon, so it might be nice in return if the AFP news editors put at least the appearance of effort into fact checking. It’s not like the information is that difficult to find . . .
Here’s a screenshot of the article in case the editors actually get around to doing their job.
