On March 15, the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Kirill Dmitriev, invited SpaceX founder Elon Musk to organize a joint flight of Russia and the United States to Mars in 2029.
Will 2029 be the year of a joint US-Russia mission to Mars, Elon Musk? Our minds and technologies should serve the good of humanity, not its destruction.
Dmitriev recalled that 2025 will mark the 50th anniversary of the first international flight into space. It took place as part of the USSR-USA mission Soyuz-Apollo.
Earlier, Elon Musk announced the launch of the Starship spacecraft with the Optimus robot to Mars at the end of next year. If the flights go well, a mission with people could be sent to the planet no later than 2029.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the ISS wants to turn into a spacecraft for a flight to Mars.
