China can afford any megaprojects... I'd cautiously predict that the Chinese will reach the moon first.

SpaceX. No Starship will fly anywhere. They definitely won't be able to refuel with cryogenic propellant in space. It's all a bubble, everything Musk depicts about Starships.

And I'm sure there will be. The question is, in what size or scale. In response to the remark: "I'm sure there will be no human settlement on Mars"

I'm sure there will be no human settlement on Mars... A robot base is a more realistic scenario.

SpaceX runs entirely on government money, and the Starships keep crashing — crashing again and again. In the foreseeable future, mark my words, the Starship rocket cannot be certified for human flights because he simply cannot make it safe.

In the near future, those supermassive black holes that exist in nearly every galaxy — including our own — will not be able to absorb any stars, galaxies, let alone the Universe itself, for tens of billions of years to come.

Let the viewers who are watching and listening to us today remember the year 2035 — the year when a human will leave their footprint on the surface of Mars. Thirty-five. That’s my prediction.

American scientists even came up with a project: to use a large meteorite crater as a radio telescope dish by covering it with wires — essentially creating a reflective surface and turning it into a natural radio telescope. This would require such enormous costs and effort that, for now, the project is considered something for the distant future. But Chinese astronomers have decided to do it now — within the next 7 to 10 years. They’re talking about five years. I looked at the scale of the project and realized that it’s unlikely to be completed in less than 10 years.

I think we will live to see a human on Mars.

We have a better chance of seeing a human on the Moon again. It might be an American, it might be a Chinese. I think this will happen in the next 10–15 years.

Since no one has reached the finish line yet, it's hard to say who's ahead. But judging by the pace, it's the Americans. However, the Chinese are catching up very actively. But I don’t think they’ll make it. The Americans will land on the Moon again. They have a huge head start. They have two large rockets. And now there’s also Elon Musk and Bezos.

Mars is about 200 years away. It will be fully livable, colonized, and as easy to visit as a weekend getaway. Not in our lifetime.

I think that the first years, if not decades, of Mars exploration will be carried out by robots. Speaking about building stations on Mars.

The way he’s proposing to fly to Mars is impossible because of cosmic radiation, and no human will make it to Mars. They just won’t make it—they’ll die; everyone will die from the cosmic radiation.

Deploying weapons in space, creating manned and unmanned space bases, and so on. Putting weapons into space is inevitable, unavoidable. This isn’t a science fiction novel; this is real life on Earth.

China wants to land on the Moon by 2030 and start developing it, as we discussed before. They’ll be extracting resources from the Moon and everything else. And you’ll see—this will be 100% certain.

These will be uncrewed to test the reliability of landing intact on Mars. If those landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years.

The first Starships to Mars will launch in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens.

It won't take Elon Musk several decades for this... So by around 2030, he will probably say: "Well, now buy your tickets, the rocket has become reliable, some to the Moon, some to Mars." By around 2030, it should be possible to fly to the Moon and Mars on Elon Musk's rockets.

And now a new trend has emerged. They have started talking about space. About possible wars in space. I believe this is inevitable in the next 10-15 years.

I believe we will find life on Mars... This will happen in the coming years, I am sure.
