Moreover, our duty is to keep on striving to be on a par with the high standards set for us by the space pioneers,\u201d the President stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Affirming the need to attract young people to space industry, Putin stated that more than 50,000 people younger than 35 are currently employed in Russia\u2019s space sector. \u201cI suggest increasing by 50% the salary of those who have already been in space and have been holding prominent positions in the cosmonaut team.
