The best advice I can give to people sending me donations is to send an email to my usual [email protected] to let me know that you've sent a donation. With university being so demanding, I regret to say that I don't check my [email protected] Paypal account as frequently as I used to. One of my two latest donations was returned, because I missed the deadline to accept payment. Maria Dami is welcome to resend the 5GBP if she wishes. The other payment, sent by Denis Welsch, was received. These latest two donations coincides with news on Space Adventure's proposed lunar Soyuz DSE-Alpha mission. The Russian Space Agency Roscosmos has gone on record to say that they are not participating in the mission and claim they were not consulted by Space Adventures on the project. http://www.themoscowtimes.com/business/article/roscosmos-disavows-plan-to-send-space-tourists-to-moon/502381.html Russia has also announced plans to built a new super heavy rocket capable of lifting 150tons. A Soyuz and shelter module docked together would have a mass between 116 and 119tons. While Russia's proposed super heavy rocket could lift the payload to Earth orbit, sending it to the moon would be outside it's lifting capacity unless some way can be found to strap the massive rocket cores together (such as in the Falcon XX Heavy configuration) or if the propellant is carried up in seperate launches. http://rt.com/news/184560-russia-rocket-super-heavy/
