You get a picture of star that used to be but is no longer. One of these days that's gonna be the story of our star, the Sun. If this species is to survive, indefinitely we need to become a multi- planet species. Wednesday, NASA's chief laid out his plan for putting humans on Mars by 2030. It's a three step plan that according to space. com will take at least three major missions requiring 200 to 400 metric tons of equipment be launched into space, and will cost billions of dollars. Exactly how many billions of dollars, Bolden didn't say. Billions of dollars that NASA right now does not have, NBC knows NASA currently makes up 0. 5 % of the federal spending plan, or just shy of 18 billion dollars annually. Back when Apollo 11 landed on the moon, NASA was receiving 4 % of the federal budget. Bolden told the audience at the Humans to Mars summit, just 1 % of the federal budget would be a gold mine. The Congressional Budget Office has said in the past, however NASA has been looking for gold in the wrong place, claiming if humans were taken out of the human space exploration program, it would save 73 billion dollars in just eight years time. And a Washington Post writer echoes the case for unmanned spacecrafts, the crafts are lighter and easier to land. There are no worries about life support, and there is no need for a return trip. And robots don't get cancer or radiation poisoning. But Bolden says getting humans to Mars is the goal, not an unmanned spacecraft. And according to a poll by Explorer Mars, the public agrees. The poll found that 67 % of Americans agreed, the US should send robots as well as humans to mars.
