Putin Urges Aerospace Industry to Develop Rocket Engines
Imagine Russia is like a car company.
The boss, Putin, wants the company to build better engines for rockets that go into space.
He visited a factory that makes engines and told the engineers they need to make these engines even better.
He said Russia is good at making engines, even with countries giving them a hard time.
Putin also wants to build new airplanes and sell more gas to China using a big pipeline.
This is important because Russia wants to sell its gas to China instead of Europe.
