Researchers have been discovering new moons as well as making new technology, but the sense of adventure and inspiration we had then is gone (Kavanagh). Mars is not the only plans for the space program, but it is the closest step we can accomplish shortly (Chen). Sometimes we forget how much the technology has progressed since the last space race.

Once we get to Venus, living conditions will be even worse. Venus’s atmosphere has a pressure of about ninety times that of Earth and a surface temperature of around 470 C [4]. Even with the cooling apparatuses in our suits it’ll be sweltering. Another property of the air there is it’s 96.5% carbon dioxide [5].…

Imagine a time where humans could travel half of the speed of light. Humans could go to mars in under 10 minutes! This time is not that far away.
