In Soviet Russia, Capsule Takes You (to the Moon)

This saucy little number is the newest design for the Russian-European spacecraft which will be visiting the moon in 2020. The two space agencies are working together to try and send at least four crew members to the moon using this capsule design, based in part on another vehicle the European Space Agency (ESA) has already constructed for use with the International Space Station (ISS) for making quick trips to the ISSHOP. The space craft's crew pod will be made by the ESA, while the propulsion system will be made by Russia. As an interesting show of confidence in their Russian partners, the ESA is also working on another manned capsule, without Russia's help, just in case their partnership blows up like a shoddily-made Russian propulsion system.
