Very sensible initiatives to improve the situation in Russian cosmonautics include building a new Roscosmos building in the shape of a rocket. Together with his proposal to rename “Federation” (since a female name for a future spaceship is not quite suitable), it underscores the prestige of Russian cosmonautics so much that one might even decide there is no need to build the ship at all. Gagarin’s name will surely be sufficient for another fifty years at least. Here’s a hint: raise the importance of April 12th to the level of May 9th (and altogether cancel December 12th – nobody knows it anyway) and make April 12th a parade of space forces and achievements every year.
