Mars

Mystery: Has any Nation from Earth, launched a successful manned flight and landing to Mars?

Secret space program
An alleged secret space program referred to as “Project Redsun” is claimed to have been a secret joint US-Russian manned mission in 1970. This secret mission was said to have launched from an “isolated location” in Brazil. The first of the "Redsun" missions were information gathering projects, so that by 1973, the aim would be to land a man on Mars itself.

Alleged footage
A 3-minute clip of a Mars manned flight in 1973, was supposedly leaked from a collection of 16mm archival footage used in the training of NASA astronauts and Air Force pilots. The alleged leaked footage is supposedly the ISV Columbus having launched in August 1973, and consisting of the crew: Elliott See (commander), William B. Rutledge (pilot) and Vladimir Ilyushin.
