Russian expert: Russian-American joint Mars exploration will help prevent disasters on Earth.
On April 18, TASS published an article.
In the case of a global disaster on Earth, cooperation between Russia and the United States in the Mars field will help create "reserve airports." This view was expressed by the main researcher of the Institute of Space Research (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
People often ask the question: "Why do we need to fly to Mars?"
In addition to routine scientific research, another answer is now proposed - creating a backup airport in the event of a disaster on Earth. However, it should be noted that this is the highest level of global cooperation.
He believes that the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin can be regarded as support for the project, which means preparing and implementing expeditions involving crew members to Mars.
The expert called this expedition a "grand mission" to Mars, which "will attract more and more supporters."
