- simonh 8y agoThey do have the advantage of operating a fully tested and proven human-rated launch vehicle family, which has also successfully orbited a space station. That puts them significantly ahead of the US. Throwing a small Salyut-style station in Lunar orbit would be a great achievement, but isn't a huge step up technically from putting one in Earth orbit.

- RandomBacon 8y agoThe same could be said about the U.S. going to the moon back in the 1960s. For the sake of humanity, I hope they make it. For the sake of humanity, I hope the U.S. beats them there first.
