Has Russia announced its immigration to Mars?

According to Russian media reports, on March 16, Beijing time, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans to launch a series of spacecraft to Mars and eventually immigrate to Mars. Russia will hold a presidential election in a few days.

According to the report, Putin said that the first step of this space program will be to launch an unmanned spacecraft in 20 19 to explore Mars. As part of the lunar and Mars exploration project, we plan to launch an unmanned spacecraft and then a manned spacecraft. We plan to send a spaceship to Mars in 20 19.

It is reported that the main goal of this mission is to search for microscopic signs of life on Mars, whether it is life or fossils. This mission will also accumulate experience for manned landing on Mars in the future, and demonstrate technologies to solve the problems faced by human landing on Mars, including how to use the Martian atmosphere to produce oxygen and discover water.

I hope the Mars movement can be realized as soon as possible!
