Russia says it is ahead in race to put man on Mars

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

[Ok, but my question is this: Can they put Robert Mugabe there – and leave him there?

I wonder if the Russians are serious about this, or whether it is a clever ploy to nudge at American pride and get the USA Govt to redouble its efforts and waste extra money on “beating the Russians”? The Russians pretended to be interested in a moon race, but never really were. The USA were really in a one-way contest. It also cost *LOTS OF MONEY*. The Russians under Putin are cunning and they’re MAKING MONEY. I’d be most surprised if they really spend it on a mission to Mars, unless they really do feel it is a worthwhile goal in terms of prestige. Jan]

Russia is leading the race to complete a manned mission to Mars and could land a Russian on the Red Planet by 2025, a leading scientist was quoted as saying on Tuesday.

“We have something of a head start in this race as we have the most experience in piloted space flight,” the director of the prestigious Space Research Institute, Lev Zelyony, told Interfax news agency on Tuesday.

The goal of becoming the first country to land a human on Mars is “technically and economically achievable” by 2025, he said.

Mars is the most prestigious prize for the Russian space industry if it wants to boost the country’s “scientific and political prestige” through manned space flight, he said.

“We lost the race to the moon,” Zelyony said.

The United States achieved that goal on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon.

The last manned US mission to the moon was the December 1972 flight of Apollo 17.
