“the goal of the next phase of space exploration is to send humans to Mars and a safe return to Earth, and in the future — and stay human on Mars for an extended period of time” – describes the future of space research, the US President Barack Obama in an article posted on the website of CNN.
About the plans of a flight to Mars Barack Obama announced at the very beginning of his presidency. At the end of the Obama presidency predicts that the organization of an interplanetary mission will require both state efforts and efforts on the part of private companies. Over the next two years, the commercial company for the first time send astronauts to the International space station.
the Next step, according to the President’s plan, should become “creation of government and commercial companies artificial habitat long-term human presence in deep space, where he can adapt to life far beyond Earth and prepare for the long journey to Mars.”
Commercial space do companies like SpaceX Elon musk, who plans to send an expedition to Mars in 2025, Blue Origin, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, Orbital ATK. As stated recently General Manager of Boeing’s Dennis Muilenburg: “I am convinced that the first man to set foot on Mars, will be taken by a missile, manufactured by our firm.”
