‘‘The time is not far off when interplanetary ships will move along the space routes, which were initiated by the launch of the Soviet rocket, to the most remote corners of the solar system. Mankind has entered the era of direct penetration into the universe,” wrote the Pravda newspaper on January 12 of this year, noting the gigantic successes that Soviet science had made in the field of space exploration. Only the first steps have been taken. Man's path to other celestial bodies will open only after the conditions for the safety of life in outer space have been studied by all means and from all sides. But there is no longer any doubt that after the study of the moon by automatic rockets, a human foot will set foot on its surface. The question arises, what type of research station can be established there? After all, there are now scientific stations in the ice of the North Pole, in the snows of Antarctica.’ https://epizodyspace.ru/bibl/tehnika_-_molodyoji/1959/2/36-36v1.html
