    Hopefully this will get us sooner to Mars, Venus and even to Jupiter/Saturn at some point, at much lower monetary costs.

  So now hype trend in Putin's mind moved from Sarmat to Russian version of Project Pluto. Maybe it has something to do with Sarmat moonscaping the test facility...

  At this point I am only waiting on this missile to cause wide spread radioactive contamination across Russia and have Putin blame NATO for it.
