NASA will send people to Mars only at the end of the next decade

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to

year to send astronauts to the Moon using the SpaceX Starship. The federal agency also does not refuse to land on Mars, but it will have to wait.

What is known

At the beginning of the last decade, the 44th President of the United StatesBarack Obama set a goal to send humans to Mars. At that time, NASA believed that it could be achieved by 2033. However, after a dozen years, the landing had to be postponed.

The main snag is time.The flight from Earth to Mars will take about six months, which brings to the fore the problem of radiation exposure. This was stated by the head of NASA Bill Nelson (Bill Nelson).

Another problem is the difference ingravitational influence between the Moon or Earth and a neighboring planet. For this reason, taking off from Mars will be much more difficult than from the Moon. In this regard, NASA predicts that the first manned flight to Mars will take place only at the end of the next decade. The head of the space agency believes that the timing will be influenced by the success of the Artemis mission and the pace at which technology develops.
