Russia and China have ambitious plans for space co-operation, Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday.
According to Putin, many countries are interested in collaborating with Russia, and Moscow remains committed to its plans for deep space exploration, including missions to the Moon and Mars.
Putin separately praised Elon Musk, comparing him to Sergei Korolev, the chief engineer behind the Soviet Union’s space success in the 1950s and 1960s.
Tass news agency quoted him as drawing a comparison between Musk and Sergei Korolev, a Soviet engineer who was instrumental in the success in sending Yuri Gagarin on the world’s first crewed spaceflight in 1961.
