Sagan urges joint mission to Mars by 2003
Astronomer Carl Sagan urged a joint US Soviet Mars mission by 2003 to show space cooperation for mankind. Roald Sagdeev of the Soviet Academy of Sciences supported the idea in principle. The plan envisions an Earth orbiting space station to assemble a Mars bound ship, reducing energy needs. The estimated cost would be about 40 billion dollars, comparable to a bomber program.
