According to the ex-director of one of the units of the United Rocket and Space Corporation Valentina Uvarova, Russia at currently cannot rely on cooperation with the US in mastering the natural satellite of the earth, you have to count only on their own strength. However the lunar program at the most a conservative estimate of the scientist will require more than 2 trillion rubles. AND take them nowhere.
The only way, according to an expert on space, the Russians themselves tackle this matter, that is, impose itself on a voluntary “moon tax. “This, the specialist says, is not so much per 100 million adults of the country and taking into account 15 years, in during which this project will be carried out – somewhere around 120 rubles per person per month.

Ex-Director emphasizes that such a “tax” should be carried out exclusively on a voluntary basis, i.e. practically offers the Russians to chip in the lunar program, since the state has no money for this.
From the point of view of logic, everything seems to be correct, especially Uvarov proposes to establish a public counter of incoming and outgoing funds, and all those who donate to this project should be contributed to special list displayed on the lunar program website and in further send him to Selena with the first flight.
“Lunar Dues” did not inspire Russians
Despite all these reasoned arguments, proposal of the former “space leader” triggered on the web far ambiguous reaction, you can probably say even so: opinion Russians about the “lunar quitrent” was mostly negative.
And the thing is not even that, Runet users write that 120 rubles decent money for someone (six loaves of bread, three liters of milk and so on), a Russian person, as you know, is ready to take off last shirt if necessary. But here’s the trouble, wherever we have donations came (for example, even for maintenance orphans, children with disabilities), they will certainly begin to plunder officials. This is from the unfortunate children shamelessly dragging the last pennies, and here there will be billions of rubles intended unknown what (to the fantastic program for the exploration of the moon, on which officials to sneeze from a large bell tower). Yes at best users say if half of the collected money remains, at worst – everybody will be taken to the penny. And that’s all – the project will close, years in five or six …
And who do you think is right, Mr. Uvarov or skeptically tuned Russians?
