Soviets targeted space colonization as long term goal
A congressional study of the Soviet Salyut program says Moscow aims for permanent colonies on the moon and Mars. The Office of Technology Assessment notes Soviet cosmonauts have logged far more space hours than U.S. astronauts and that long term habitats are being designed for living in space. U.S. planning may seek 100 to 200 million dollars in 1985 for a permanently manned station with costs potentially above 8 billion by 1991.
