[FPSPACE] Post-ISS projects for Russian modules

[James Oberg]

Do they plan to take the US-owned FGB with them?

Maybe having the only firearms at the ISS will prove useful!

  BBC reports Russia to save its ISS modules to make a new station after 2020.

  New partnership with ESA and others on this "new" station?

  Onwards to the Moon? Onwards to Mars? And how many nations? Will this be a true partnership between Russia, Europe and China? Is this a new partnership designed to work around (and exclude) the USA?

  Is it all hot air, as so many other projects have turned out in the past?
