The first one is coming soon, in 2019, we're sending a new mission to Mars. Also, new continued exploration of the Moon. We won't do what Soviet specialists did, we'll try to land at the poles, because we have a reason to believe there's water there. There's a lot to do there. We can start exploring other planets and outer space from there.
The new space generation must become a part of a great technological revolution. That will lead to new energy types, smart houses and cities, support for our talents, and new economics. But, we have to hurry. Who will be taking the next step on the planet?
Vladimir Putin: Right now, most countries with high technological development levels, including Russia, have a shot at becoming a leader. We've created a foundation for the next step forward, we must now use it as a stepping stone for an abrupt movement upward and forward. We have all the chances for this breakthrough. What must be the foundation of our nobility in the future? Nowadays, economy is the foundation of any country's nobility. It must be modern, competitive, effective, and based on the latest technologies. Based on this, it's now important for us to strive to increase the life quality level for our people.
