Cooperation between Russia and the United States of America in the exploration of Mars may play a key role in creating a "spare airfield" in the event of a global catastrophe on Earth, as well as in preventing such threats. This was stated by Nathan Eismont, a leading researcher at the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The best way to prevent the anthropogenic version of such a catastrophe is global cooperation in a project such as a human flight to Mars. A few words about Russian participation. Let's be frank: Russia is a country with the highest level of competence in the field of space technology. And these are the words of Elon Musk.
According to Eismont, the list of issues for the implementation of the project has not yet been determined. However, the Space X rocket tests indicate that part of the path in the scenario of a flight to the Red Planet has already been completed. But the question of the crew's return to Earth remains open.
More precisely, it has not yet become the subject of wide discussion. And it has not even been made public, like the alleged roles of potential participants. But the main political component of the project has been identified — uniting humanity around this grandiose project.
