SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Eventually, humans will most likely journey to Mars.

Detailed explanation-2: -NASA aims to launch astronauts to Mars by the late 2030s or early 2040s. Making that vision a reality will be challenging. Assuming the funding and technology come into play at the right time, for example, the round-trip travel time would still be about 500 days given the distance between Earth and Mars.

Detailed explanation-3: -On future missions, NASA and its partners will assemble the Gateway lunar space station in NRHO to serve as a hub for Artemis missions. NASA has selected SpaceX to provide the human landing system that will transport Artemis III astronauts from Orion in lunar orbit to the surface of the Moon and back again.

Detailed explanation-4: -The scientific reasons for going to Mars can be summarised by the search for life, understanding the surface and the planet’s evolution, and preparing for future human exploration. Understanding whether life existed elsewhere in the Universe beyond Earth is a fundamental question of humankind.

Detailed explanation-5: -NASA’s DAVINCI mission will launch in the late 2020s to explore Venus from near the top of the clouds to the planet’s surface. Mars Sample Return is a proposed mission to bring samples collected by NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover to Earth.
