Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday praised Elon Musk, comparing him to Sergei Korolev, the chief engineer behind the Soviet Union's space success in the 1950s and 1960s, state news agency TASS reported.

TASS cited Putin, who was speaking on Russia's space policy at a meeting with students, as saying: "You know, there's a person who lives in the states, you could say that he's absolutely crazy about Mars."

It quoted him as drawing a comparison between Musk and Korolev, the engineer who was instrumental in the Soviet Union's success in sending Yuri Gagarin on the world's first crewed spaceflight in 1961.

Putin has previously praised Musk, whose business interests include the SpaceX space technology company, as "an outstanding person."

Musk, a top adviser to President Donald Trump, has become increasingly vocal in his criticism of Ukraine

Rooters Sewer Service sure hates Musk, which speaks well for Elon.

[BradtotheBone]

Boy, this ought to amplify the hate on Elon from the left.

The Soviet space program that killed a dog, then bragged about it? I'm sure the U.S. could have killed many dogs, but why?

I've been to the moon just as many times as all Russian astronauts combined.

[nickcarraway]

Not really.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Stalin imprisoned Korolev, Dems want to assassinate Musk. Hmmmm...

[SmokingJoe]

Sergei Korolev, is one of the greatest rocket and space engineers that ever lived, if not the greatest.

Helmut Grottrup is a traditional Russian name. Of Course we had Von Braun

[SmokingJoe]

Still kept using him to design rockets while he was in jail.
He was the best there is and Stalin is not stupid.

[SmokingJoe]

Irrelevant.
The Tesla terrorists are already on trial on a swift path to jail.

[SmokingJoe]

The Soviet space program, first to space, first to send a man to space, first to send a woman to space, first to send spaceship to the moon and some other planets you mean?

[SmokingJoe]

German. Hitler’s top rocket designer.

[Navy Patriot]

...but why?

Fauci can explain it to you, however his Beagles have lost their voices in Western Media.

Good thing we got Von Braun after the war, despite them bombing Pearl Harbor. Pesky Germans were on a roll back then.

[SmokingJoe]

Germans did not bomb Pearl Harbor.

[bleach]

That you Bluto?

[JSM_Liberty]

Forget it, he’s rolling.

[crz]

Please. Grace the rest of us with your knowledge and explain to us about the GERMANS, bombing Pearl.

[Nik Naym]

You’ve obviously never seen the movie Animal House.

[crz]

Not to mention the most reliable space capsule in exsistence to this day. But crude.
These children dont have a clue of the panic they caused the Eisenhower administration after sputnik.

We caught up and surpased them eventually. But they were willing to sacrifice life to understand the effects of space on humans.

Musk takes us into the future and the one world government globalist do not like that. The EU is our enemy. Russia understands that and will capitalize on it with us.

So who goes on Musks trip to Mars? When he does it?
BTW, i have serious doubts about that since the human body will never tolerate such a trip.
He can send robots up and do the same thing.

[crz]

Lol! Juss dam!
