Here it is , fellow space - geeks , the first prescribed paradigm of the young joint Russian - European manned spacecraft , and we ’ll be anathemize if it does n’t look like something out of the Ikea Kitchen Collection . It ’s made to ferry up to four people ( cosmonauts or astronauts ? ) to the lunation and back , with a two - stage satellite - and - lander design much like the original American lunar missions . What ’s interesting is that the craft apply thruster to slack its descent to the synodic month ’s surface as well as to launch itself off the control surface . The Russians state that they look a launch in 2018 , though a launch could chance rather if stock roquette presently available are modified , which sound perfectly and totally safe to us . [ BBC ]
