After NASA confirmed its intention to send astronauts back to the moon in 2024, it also announced plans to send humans to Mars by 2033.
NASA Director Jim Brydenstein said yesterday that to achieve this goal, we needed to act quickly.
"We want a landing on Mars in 2033," said Brydenstein at a congressional hearing "We can prepare for the landing on Mars by preparing for the landing on the moon."
NASA is seeking to implement the plans of US President Donald Trump, whose deputy, Mike Pence, announced that astronauts would be sent back to the moon four years later, in 2024. But many experts doubt the agency ability to carry out this task, Especially for the delays in the completion of the new heavy missile "SLS", which is assembled by the "Boeing".
Because of its distance, any mission on Mars will take at least two years, and it takes six months to three days to access it alone. (AFP)
