A Cosmonaut's Commentary

Dwayne Day does a bang up job of bringing to our attention the interview of the Pavel Vinogradov in the Russian space periodical, Novosti Kosmonavtiki. Dwayne gives a very thorough background for those that haven't been following the status of the Russian Space Program for the last decade. I think you will find it as interesting as I did.

It will also help kaboosh anymore of those 'Russia is overtaking the US' comments about space stuff. Right now, wrt that, it was much like how the Brits used to state about the Americans and VSTOL fighter tech: to stay ahead, one must only sit tight.
