Russia is ready to send human beings to Mars, and will begin detailed planning to do so.This announcement was made to a London newspaper reporter by a Russian official, the chief of a once-secret space science institute. The official, Anatoli Grigoriev, surprised his international colleagues earlier this month with the prediction that a crew from Russia will be enroute to Mars as early as 2016."Our engineers believe we can do this by 2020 and, from a medical point of view, there are no big hurdles left to hinder such a mission,? Professor Grigoriev said. "Russia can offer a complete medical support system for a mission to Mars. This is recognized not just here but also in Houston."
