First woman in space ready for ‘one-way flight to Mars’
superstar CITY: Russia‘s Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman to go to space, said on Friday she was ready to score another coup and take wing to Mars, even if it would be just a one-way trip.
“Mars is my favourite planet,” the 76-year old told a news meeting in Zvyozdny Gorodok (Star City) outside Moscow, home to a cosmonaut training centre.
Tereshkova, who became a national heroine at the tender age of 26 when she made a solo space journey in 1963, said she had been part of the group who studied the likelihood of going to the Red Planet.
