Boeing and Russia to partner on building lunar space station? November 17, 2016 at 5:22 pm Robert Zimmerman

"...As part of a settlement with Boeing in the Sea Launch lawsuit, the Russians are proposing a partnership with the American company for building a lunar orbiting space station. A preliminary dispute settlement deal was reached in August. “We are preparing a document which, apart from finalizing the court case, also creates a program for long-term cooperation on a wide range of issues. We are working on projects to cooperate in low earth orbit, create moon infrastructure and explore deep space,” Solntsev told the Russian Izvestia newspaper. The two companies now plan to create nodes and units capable of synchronizing space technologies, including a docking station for a proposed lunar orbiting station. Meanwhile, Sea Launch settlement documents are set to be signed before the end of November, according to Solntsev. It will be very interesting to see the actual agreement. I also wonder how much Boeing can really do with Russia without U.S. government approval.” http://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/boeing-and-russia-to-partner-on-building-lunar-space-station/
