WASHINGTON: NASA has made it clear they want astronauts back on the Moon in 2024, and now, they are zeroing in on the Red Planet - the US space agency confirmed that it wants humans to reach Mars by 2033.
"We can move up the Mars landing by moving up the Moon landing. The Moon is the proving ground," added the former Republican congressman, who was appointed by President Donald Trump. The new date is politically significant: it would be the final year in Trump's eventual second term at the White House.Many experts and lawmakers are concerned that NASA cannot make the deadline, especially given the major delays in development of its new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System, which is being built by aerospace giant Boeing.
A round trip to Mars can only take place when the Red Planet is positioned on the same side of the Sun as Earth - that occurs about every 26 months, so the dates are 2031, 2033, and so on.
