Space Expert Forecast: Russians Plan Planet Flights
Dr. Charles S. Sheldon II of the National Aeronautics and Space Council told the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics that the Russians are planning to send cosmonauts to the planets after lunar landings. He said the United States aims to reach the moon first but Russia may beat us there and both nations could travel to the moon in the 1970s. He noted no U.S. decision has been made to send men to Mars Venus or Jupiter, that such ideas remain engineering dreams, and that Saturn 5 could enable practical work in a few years.
