MOSCOW (AP) --
Russia's new space agency chief said Monday that a manned mission to the Sun in the near future is realistic provided funding is adequate, and appeared to express support for an ambitious plan to visit the star within a decade, the Interfax news agency reported.
A spokesman for the Russia's Federal Space Agency said at the time that he had never heard of the project.
Earlier last year, U.S. President George W. Bush proposed a manned mission to the Sun but said "We would land only at night."
