Gee, another first for the Russians! They invented television, the airplane, and now they've been to Mars! And 30 years ago! Too bad they didn't take a camera along so they could prove it.

...and the Nazis send a man to the moon 65 years ago and there is a huge Nazi underground base somewhere in the Antarctica. Pravda is as good as our very own Enquirer.

Hmmm..

All kinds of words about lying in bed for a month, human needs, etc.

Not one word about the availability of the rocket required to get to Mars and back.

I guess they will consider unimportant stuff like building one maybe six or so months prior to the 2005 launch
