At a news conference in Washington, D.C., with members of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project crew today, astronaut Donald "Deke" Slayton said he is convinced that man eventually will fly to Mars, and that such a mission "is a natural for an international mission as opposed to any national mission." Maj. Gen. Aleksei A. Leonov of the visiting cosmonauts agreed that the ASTP mission was "only the beginning of our future cooperation in space" and that it would be a "shame" for the U.S. and the Soviet Union to conduct parallel space programs that could be conducted as joint missions.
