Yet another brave powerpoint from Russia.


You can see how this is supposed to work, can't you?
Russia will supply the Big Ideas, and the ESA is to fund it. :-D

That's why none of these joint ESA/Russian proposals ever pans out. Even
ATV was mostly ESA. It's like Russia is the idea man, but ESA does all the
work. Luckily for ESA they've wised up and spend the money mostly in
Europe, not Russia.
