The Soviet Union has submitted to the member states of the UN a stage-by-stage program for joint operations in the peaceful development of space. The program goes up to the year 2000. It is suggested that conditions be created during that period of time that will enable the practical development and use of the Moon to begin as early as the first decades of the 21st century, with lunar settlements used as a base for flights to other planets. This would signify the creation of the actual prerequisites for Earth's civilization becoming, at the very beginning of the third millennium, an interplanetary civilization. The advantages of lunar bases for space exploration is examined.
