Moscow (UPI) Nov 22, 2004 Russia may have a base on the moon by 2025, according to a Russian space official, the Interfax news agency reported Monday. Nikolai Moiseyev, deputy chief of the Russian Space Agency for the International Space Station, made the prediction at a NASA conference in Washington, D.C. Moiseyev told the conference that the task may be put forward in 2020-2025 to set up an automatic lunar base.
