Zak talks about Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, which has developed a program that sets the stage for building a permanent base on the moon. The audacious plan came as a wave of Russian nationalism was building in the wake of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics in February and the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in March. Other factors may have been NASA's plans for the manned Orion spacecraft and China's growing reach into space.
