( o _ 0 ) Russia says it is ahead in race to put man on Mars. Your thoughts?
Q. Tue Jan 8, 4:41 am et moscow (AFP) - 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… [cont.]

A. I think it is true that Russia has more experience with manned space exploration in a lot of ways, and they definitely got better results in terms of money - they achieved comparable achievements on about 10% of the budget as NASA, i believe. Experience isn't everything though - you need a ton of money and a ton of skilled people to do something as monumental as a manned Mars mission. Russia's broke, and it's skilled space engineers must either be too old (too experienced?) or have left the country by now. Personally i love the idea of exploring space but i think we should leave it to the robots for now. The money saved could be put towards keeping OUR planet suitable for human life.
