Ukraine’s State Space Agency has officially joined the Moon Village Association, an international project advocating lunar exploration and colonization, it announced on Aug. Now, it has taken another step to keep up with humanity’s growing quest to explore the cosmos. But it refuses to give up without a fight. Ukraine’s once-glorious aerospace industry is suffering from a decades-long crisis.
