During a visit to Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Russian President Vladimir Putin compared Elon Musk to Soviet space pioneer Sergei Korolev, calling him a rare visionary “mad about Mars.”⁣ ⁣ Speaking with students, Putin noted: “Such people are not often born. They are charged with new ideas… Even if it seems unbelievable today, such ideas are often realised — just as the ideas of Korolev were.”⁣ ⁣ #Putin #ElonMusk #Korolev #Russia #BaumanUniversity #SpaceExploration #Innovation #Geopolitics
