No country is yet ready to organize a space flight to Mars, while these ideas are illiterate and absurd, the head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin said at the SPIEF session.
According to him, tech-savvy experts understand the absurdity of such proposals.
“In order to fly to Mars, you need a launch window, this is every two years. And then this flight is up to nine months. How to stuff a hundred people like sprats in a bank, without the ability to move for nine months? Then they will wait there for the launch a window to quickly dump from there and again, like sprats, fly to Earth in a tin can, “Interfax quotes Rogozin as saying.
He also compared modern ideas of visiting Mars with a marketing ploy.
Earlier it became known that in St. Petersburg, at the Global Conference on Space Exploration GLEX, they will discuss the future of the ISS. The session will take place on June 16.
