I'm John Bachelors.

This is the new John Bachelors show.

It represented by CBS News Radio.

We are attending to Ross Cosmos.

This is Hotel Mars episode end, special edition because Ross Cosmos, the world's oldest

and most successful manned space program, is in the course of changing over its ambition

for the future.

Here to four, its function very nicely as a bus service for the NASA that had no way to

get to and from the ISS.

It has ambitions, however, to build new modules, new rockets, and these ambitions are laid out

over many years and will attend them.

But first is a headline that was surprising to me, but very logical.

David Livingston, Dr. Space of the Space Show, is here to comment on this as well.

The headline was that Ross Cosmos, the world's oldest and most successful manned space

program, is partnering with the new guy on the block that would be the People's Republic

of China.

And the partnership is about building a moon base, a manned moon base at the South Pole.

And it totally, I was struck by the logic of it, but at the same time, took my breath

away.

What does this mean for Ross Cosmos?

What do you make of this plan for a joint Russian Chinese space colony?

Right, John.
