Deputy General Director of the Roscosmos state corporation Sergei Savelyev said that the American engineer Elon Musk was invited to St. Petersburg for the GLEX space conference, but he has not yet responded to the invitation.
= Elon Musk had a personal invitation. The Mask company is among the participants. But to date, we have no information that Elon Musk will come himself, '' Saveliev said at SPIEF-2021.
The head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin said that the conference participants would be happy to see Mask at the event.
The international space conference GLEX-2021 will be held in the Northern capital from 14 to 18 June 2021. More than 800 people from 59 countries will take part in the event in person.
Recall, according to Dmitry Rogozin, statements about the imminent flight of man to Mars are absolute absurdity. According to him, you need to fly to the Red Planet through the launch window, which opens every two years, and then this flight can take up to nine months. However, according to Elon Musk, SpaceX will start flying and landing such ships “long before 2030”.
