Russia could supply a small nuclear power plant for a mission to Mars planned by billionaire entrepreneur and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, President Vladimir Putin’s international co-operation envoy said yesterday.
The envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, said Moscow could discuss the offer with Musk by video conference. It was the second time Dmitriev has spoken of potential co-operation with Musk this month.
The proposal comes after US President Donald Trump launched talks with Russia aimed at reviving bilateral ties which were languishing at their lowest level in decades due to Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Moscow is seeking to develop economic co-operation with Washington, even as US sanctions against Russia over the conflict remain in place.
