      It's interesting to note that the Russians never bothered to put Cosmonauts on the moon after our success.

      The official explanation was that red represents the blood of heroes fallen for the cause of the Revolution (likewise - 'Blood Banner' of the Nazis, red shirts of Garibaldi etc.). However red is just traditional in folk art and is synonymous to 'beautiful' in old Russian.

      The Soviets lost Sergei Korolev, their equivalent of Von Braun to a heart attack in 1966 and therefore much of the impetus to continue. A short time before, they had suffered the loss of three cosmonauts on one flight. Added to these difficulties was the sheer fact that America could out-spend them at every turn. As the often quoted lne in that great movie 'The Right Stuff' goes; 'No Bucks, no Buck Rogers!'

      Red is also a favourite colour of anyone who wishes to draw the eye to the subject. The gesture line of the main figure is very much a classical and rennaisance pose and red has been symbolic of blood, passion, life etc, for centuries. What I really mean is; she looks like a proletarian saint.

      ... they had plans to keep on going. Even build a base. But the politicians not the scientists were in control. I think they gave up when they saw us taking 'cars' and playing golf up there.

      You mean the Russians didn't figure out that we faked the whole thing? Oh damn, I let that slip out............

      Richard Nixon wasn't real either. He was a hand puppet.

      Their 'Buran' shuttle program never got off the ground either. It just rode around on top of the Antonov Mriya...the largest cargo plane ever built with 6 engines...to air shows. Reagan's 'Star Wars' bluff bankrupted them.

      No, it flew. Only once and with no crew, but Buran has been to space.

      The nice thing about the Russian language: The word мир has two meanings. It means peace and world, too. So you can translate "во и́мя мирa! as "In the name of peace" and as "In the name of the world".
