An international manned flight to Mars could be possible by 2030, the Russian Space Agency said on Monday.
The agency head Anatoly Perminov was quoted by Itar-Tass news agency as saying a Mars mission will be preceded by manned flights to the Moon. “According to assessments by our experts, manned flights to the moon will resume by 2015-2020,” he said. “The construction of a permanent station on the moon or industrial development of it is possible.”

Uh huh, neither the US or Russia can get a man on the moon for another 10 years but they're going to Mars. Baghdad Bob must have gotten a new job.

Scuse me if I wait this one out.
Not that I don't think Russian "technology" is not just peachy keen and totally trustworthy or anything like that, but,......I think I'll just wait just a wee bit, to see if they make it back before I make my rez.
You don't mind do ya?

Translation:
They want the U.S. to pay for it and they want to go along for the ride.
I'll take a spot on your ping list, please.

It will be named Capricorn II LOL, so it is Baghdad Bob and OJ with new jobs.
To: ChefKeith
I think your idea is the closest. Rereading the article I see a lot of "possibles" and "can be dones". All of this is bureaucrat speak for if I don't get more money I will stop working on it.
