You’d figure that it being so long ago since man stepped foot on the moon, that Mars would follow soon after. Of course, it’s not that simple as any space expert will tell you. We do dare to dream though, and now if everything goes to plan we’ll realize this dream faster with the help of Russia. And vice versa.

It was announced today by NASA Moscow that they’ve invited Russia to work together on a manned flight to Mars.

The decision came by way of the achievements that the International Space Station has been able to make, and could more beneficial to use a multinational crew. NASA and Russia would be under control of the mission and would include other international space agencies.

Again, this is something quite far into the future. But working together a launch date would easily be seen sooner, rather than later.
