V. Reading

 T: Read the text to find more information about Russia’s space programme

Russia’s space programme continues itself new targets. At present it has three main aims. The first is to send three manned missions to the moon by 2015. The second objective is to build a permanent base on the Moon to tap its energy resources. And, last but not least, its third goal is to dispatch a Russian crew to Mars, also as the “Red Planet”, between 2010 and 2030.

Of cause, space travel does not come cheap. While the Russian government has given $2 billion to the programme, private investment is also needed. Some money has been raised through offering tourist trips into space. Russia was the first country to offer this type of travel, and to date four people have travelled as tourists into space, each paying $20 million for the privilege.

With its many first, Russia has been a pioneer in space exploration and earned its place among the stars. Apart from technology and investment, the space programme needs cosmonauts. Do you aspire to new heights?
