Russia will colonise the Moon in 2030. Cosmonauts will
build a lunar base with a solar power station and a science lab, using
long-range research rovers to explore the Moon’s surface, and a satellite will
orbit above, according to the Russian space agency.
Back on Earth, it’s anyone’s guess what Russia will be
up to in 2030. President Vladimir Putin, who turns 78 that year, may be long
gone; or he may be starting his fourth consecutive term as president, having
amended the constitution to do away with term limits. There will be five
million fewer Russians than today. The economy will be larger, though not much.
But what will Russia’s position be on the
international stage?
