Oh cool. Can I have one of the landers too?? I promise to look after it real good.

If you can get there, have at it

It's been over 30 years since you guys have been there. The moon is a free agent again

We claim precedent. If the Brits can hang onto the Falklands despite leaving them abandoned for 30 years then we can hang onto the moon.

Hey, we had a company of Royal Marines and HMS Endurance there. That's not abandoned.....

Yes, that's modern education system and not only in Russia, in other countries too. The youth thinks like that - atually they don't think at all. For now people don't know national antherns of their countries, don't know the right language, don't know history, they only think how to grab money and die. Wellcome to the 21-st century.

You other guys really dropped the ball by not doing it yourselves instead of waiting for me to do so.

Vodka likely has some correlation to the title of this thread. Fact is, when they sober up Russians are apparently quite bright. After all, Mendeleev invented the periodic table and also predicted atomic weights of unknown elements - lets see an accomplishment like that from the west.
