Two Apollo 11 astronauts called for a manned Mars mission on Sunday, the eve of the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing, while astronaut Neil Armstrong looked back at the steps that paved the way for the Apollo programme.
NASA currently aims to return astronauts to the moon by 2020, with the eventual goal of sending astronauts to Mars, in line with a vision for the agency announced by President George W. Bush in 2004. But these plans may change, pending the outcome of a review of human spaceflight plans that is due to be completed at the end of August.
“We can reach these destinations on the pathway to Mars within the next two decades,” Aldrin said, adding that his plan would put astronauts in line to land on Mars some 66 years after the first humans set foot on the moon’s Tranquility Base, an event that occurred 66 years after the Wright brothers’ first powered flight.
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second man to set foot on the moon, called for a new space vision that would take astronauts to Mars by 2035. He said NASA could reach that goal by first going to the moon, then to near-Earth objects like the potential Earth-collider Apophis, and eventually to the Martian moon Phobos.
