I hope this is the beginning of a new space race.

americans never been on the moon - russians are not inviting american consultants. No reason for this.

Russians on Mars - what a punch in the balls to americans with their sense of entitlement.

Even Ray Bradberry had americans on mars.

History of future totally rewritten.

Racing for space is humane and a good thing.

What are you waffling about?0ne year and a half.? Obama just cut funds to NASA and it will be a minimum of 2020 before it is even remotely possible to send humans to Mars.The russians are learning a safe and effective way to get there.The Americans are looking for outside support for the funding of such a launch-project..

So do you actually think Americans are going to be landing on Mars in Five years and when will they conlonize the Red Planet???????

What is it they will live in and eat?

The Russians have achieved more in space than the Americans and will do so even more.The Americans landed on the moon but the Russians have sent pods to Saturn ,Venus and Titan and so on and on.Its a race to mars and why would they want to bring the American who are the biggest war criminals on this planet.'' fact ''.
