The Soviet Union was once the most powerful nation in space, but taking on its role at the end of the Cold War, Russia has fallen behind the United States in space affairs. However, under President Vladimir Putin Russia has been sending messages that it is ready to rejoin the top club. But words are cheap –while going to the Moon is not!
