Information about a significant decline in its program to explore the moon are markedly exaggerated, says Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. Reports of curtailment of the lunar program Russia recently diverged massively in the local press. In particular, "Izvestia" wrote that the Russian space Agency has refused to build a base on the satellite of the Earth and from the space program almost completely edged out of work for manned flights to the moon.

"We will not abandon the "lunar program", the rumors about her "death" greatly exaggerated", — quoted Vice-Premier of the Russian Federation, the Agency "RIA Novosti". According to Rogozin, the country has already started to create super-heavy rocket for deep space expeditions. This contradicts rumors in the press about the refusal of projects on creation of a lunar takeoff and landing complex, a lunar orbital station, base, space suit etc.

Previously TJournal reported that Deputy Prime Minister accidentally wounded himself in the leg in the dash. Representatives of the officials claimed that the injury was received in a handball game. The incident has generated a lot of jokes on the Internet that are associated with Rogozin's statements such as "We are not going to shoot itself in the foot".

as for development of lunar space by 2020 there expects to land South Korea. Only as a standalone unit.
