"Russia and China signed a memorandum of understanding on Tuesday to   
   set up an international lunar research station as both countries seek to   
   catch up with the United States in the space race.   
      
   Russia, which sent the first man into space during the Soviet Union, has   
   been lagging behind Washington and Beijing in the exploration of the Moon   
   and Mars.   
      
   Russia's space agency Roscosmos said in a statement that a memorandum   
   was signed by its head, Dmitry Rogozin, and Zhang Kejian of China's   
   National Space Administration (CNSA)."
