The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakrova, on the Telegram channel, eagerly commented on the statement of the former British Prime Minister Liz Truss, that under her leadership Britain could send a mission to Mars. The diplomat published a quote from the country's prime minister, that by 2040 the British could reach Mars, "if they were not removed from the position of prime minister". "But here you cannot claim: the result will be inevitable - at least for Mars," Zakharova wrote. Earlier, the American entrepreneur and head of SpaceX Elon Musk said that in the coming decades his organization intends to build powerful cities on the moon and Mars. According to him, the company's experts have already focused on implementing such a project on the Earth's satellite - the results can be achieved in less than ten years.
