A sensational statement was made during an interview for the portal worldnewsdailyreport. In addition, Gelernter called the idea of flying to Mars in 2030 ridiculous.
The professor called the famous "Mission Apollo" a ridiculous joke, incomprehensible as remaining in the pages of history. Interestingly, only one-fifth of Americans believe in flying to the moon.
