In a recent speech to students in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin lauded Elon Musk, emphasizing his ambitious plans for colonizing Mars. Putin drew a parallel between Musk and Sergey Korolev, the visionary behind the Soviet Union's space endeavors. He underscored the rarity of individuals driven by bold ideas like Musk, while also hinting at Russia's own future projects in space exploration. Despite Musk's controversial comments regarding military aid to Ukraine, his significance in the space sector remains prominent, especially after the sanctions on Russia's Roscosmos agency.
Putin highlighted Musk's goal of colonizing Mars, stating, "One might say, (Elon Musk) is crazy about Mars. Such people rarely appear in the human population, inspired by a certain idea."
Comparing Musk to Korolev, Putin remarked on their shared vision for space exploration, noting that historic figures often face challenges in their aspirations.
