Khimki, Aug 20: In an anonymous complex next to a suburban Moscow Shopping Centre, a retired Russian Army General is setting up his next galactic conquest.
Georgy Polishchuk, head of the Lavochkin Association, is preparing an unmanned mission to a moon of Mars that would search for signs of life on the red planet and try to unlock the universe's secrets.
"We have to find life and whether it can be sustained," Polishchuk said, his eyes shiny as his pen drew out the planned way during a dialogue this month at the installation.
The theory that there might be life on mars, bolstered by signs that there has been or still is water on the planet, has enthralled scientists and space enthusiasts about the world for more than a century.
