NASA chief Jim Bridenstine is now claiming that the space agency will be able to land Americans on Mars by 2035. As Fox News reports:
“If we are accelerating the moon landing, we are accelerating the Mars landing,” Bridenstine, NASA’s Administrator, said during a panel discussion at the International Astronautical Congress, according to Space.com.
“I suggest we can do it by 2035,” he added.
In April, Bridenstine said before lawmakers that NASA astronauts could be on the red planet by 2033, pushing up the timeframe, Fox 2 previously reported.
“We can move up the Mars landing by moving up the moon landing (to 2024),” Bridenstine told the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. “We need to learn how to live and work in another world. The moon is the best place to prove those capabilities and technologies. The sooner we can achieve that objective, the sooner we can move on to Mars.”
Vice President Mike Pence also spoke at the IAC, discussing the Trump administration’s plan to return an American to the Moon by 2024.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO GET TO MARS FIRST…
IF WE DON’T, THE CHINESE WILL DEFINITELY DO IT…
AS PROUD AMERICANS WE CANNOT BE 2ND…
NASA has OUTLIVED ITS USEFULNESS! It is now just a drain on taxpayers!
How about we quit paying bums to sit on their ass and vote for Democrats i e. Welfare Food Stamps and Medicaid and spend that money on NASA
Good idea, for the last 60 years.
Let’s take on our moon first, and then go to mars in 100 years.
The moon itself is a challenge of its own.
Mars is going to be impossible at our current
pace. If we use rockets, forget it. Rockets are
Prehistoric, and unreliable.
I say in about 100 years we will have better propulsion systems, but if we are talking rockets to mars, that’s a space coffin.
Why waste a beautiful Martian Sunset on those hapless, delusional, drug-addled and power-drunk liberals, when we can send them to URANUS! After all, aren’t they all Ass-tronuts?
And ship all the demoncrats and himself first.
The democrats would never make it. They are always going the wrong way.
Nasa – going nowhere since 1958
And ship all of the House of repulsives to the moon and mars first.
NASA Chief Claims Humans Will Be On Mars By 2035. Actually alot sooner after Squaker Pelosi, Stinky Schiff, Nadless, Steny Hoyer and Mr. Constipation Schumer get rounded up…We’ll be setting a launch date!
About 11 yrs AFTER Elon Mush plans to have his mars colony started
