Russia and U.S. May Team Up to Build Moon Base

It cost us $100 billion to build the International Space Station (ISS). Up until very recently, it was looking like that investment would soon be lost, after Russia pulls out of the ISS consortium in 2023 and carts off its several ISS modules to build a new, all-Russian space station of its own. That looked like it would leave the United States and NASA with the bleak prospect of figuring out how to fund and operate a space station on our own.

But you're not going to believe the surprising turn this story just took.
