Russia Aims Towards Mars
Iddo Genuth writes "Russia's Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) has announced its intentions to build a low-orbit space station which, according to the agency, will support future exploration of the moon and Mars. There's also a suggestion to extend the operational lifespan of the International Space Station by five more years, resetting its retirement date to 2020. The project proposal is already on its way for review by the Russian government. Some Russian sources also reportedly proposed the (rather ludicrous) idea of converting the ISS into some kind of an interplanetary transport vehicle, which would serve as the 'ultimate mother ship' in manned planetary missions to the moon or even Mars."
This is even more hilarious, as Mars is/was the God of War.
Right? Or am I thinking of something else?
For large sets, this will be our guide even unto death, for the LORD will work for each type of data it is applied to...
Russia decided to nuke mars.
I'm going to blindly assume this is the point of the article and see no need to actually read it.
Go Russia!
You can't take the sky from me.
