Russia and United States will build the first lunar space station together

Russia and the United States have reached a cooperation agreement to create the first special lunar station, which will be the precursor to a NASA project to send humans to Mars.

The idea of NASA is to create a kind of gateway near the Moon from where to send the rockets to Mars and even perhaps to other planets in deep space. The new cooperation between these two countries will be aimed at creating international standards to build the first lunar space station.

The United States and Russia will build the first lunar space station

The Russian space agency Roscosmos announced the signing of an astronautical cooperation agreement with NASA with the intention of "developing international technical standards" for later "to be able to create a space station in the orbit of the Moon".

For its part, NASA has been really ambitious when it comes to thinking about space projects, especially with the intention of sending humans to Mars and even thinking about possible colonization plans.

The idea of ​​the agencies is that Russians and Americans can cooperate in the organization of missions both in the lunar orbit and on the surface of the Moon. The intention is that the main works start in the middle of the year 2020. The space station on the Moon would be useful to carry out a lot of research on the part of both countries.

But it is necessary to make it clear that this is not the first time that the two countries work as a team, as both participated in the International Space Station, along with countries like Japan, Canada, Belgium, Italy, France, Spain and several others. However, on the International Space Station, cooperation was reduced to simply discussing details at the last moment, when the United States had to use adapters to match Russian standards.

The idea is now to develop team designs so that everything works perfectly. Also, unlike the previous project, there is the difference that this agreement does not include third parties but is a direct agreement between these two countries. It seems to be demonstrated that when there is interest on both sides, a team can be set up to escape the historical political tensions of the countries.

Agencies have pointed out that cooperation among them is possible because they share the same vision about the human exploration of space. What they have not given so far are details about that vision of human exploration. Will they try to colonize Mars between the two?

The good part of the matter is that NASA's plans - often termed mysterious or obscure important details - will be to some extent associated with another country, officiating Russia perhaps as a sort of comptroller.

What do you think about this team project between Russia and the United States? Do you think the team will end well?
