Gorshkov: Russian manned Mission to Mars by 2020 is Feasible

Here is the article in russian:

Here is a link of the text of the Mars Society News letter:
http://www.geocities.com/the_wetzels/Mars.txt

My 2c worth: the Mars Society is so desperate to prove their cause that
they paint MK - Russian version of the National Inquirer as a reliable
source of information which it is not!

2 more cents on reading Russian publications (including translated ones):
if you hear a Russian say: "we are planning to do this in three years (or
more)" you have to translate it as: "we are not currently planning any of
this although it sounds cool"

My 4c ;-)
