A New Mission to Mars in 2020

A New Mission to Mars 

Science Team Outline Goals for NASA'S 2020 Mars Rover

In a Report Released by Nasa it set's a goal for a new rover to launch in 2020. The Rover is likely to look just like the Mars Science Lab with a few new features. This mission may send back the first mars samples to earth. there can be more information about this at this link http://www.nasa.gov/press/2013/july/science-team-outlines-goals-for-nasas-2020-mars-rover/#.Udx4Iju-ptQ

The Birth of Crowd Funding Space

Send Your Own Pocket Spacecraft to Space

The Birth of Crowd Funding Space

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1677943140/send-your-own-pocket-spacecraft-on-a-mission-to-th

A group called Pocket Spacecraft based in Bristol ,United Kingdom. Wants for you to send a personal spacecraft into space. These spacecraft are called Pocket Spacecraft. They are cheap and easy to produce. The spacecraft can travel to Low Earth Orbit, The Moon, and They hope one day to Mars.This is no easy task and with out the funds they may not make it to space. With the huge success of the Planetary Resources  ARKYD 100 Space Telescope. Could these small corporations make it to space with the help of Kickstarter. Let me know in the comments below.

Russian Proton Rocket Crashes

Seconds After Launch

The Rocket Blasted off at 2:38 UTC on Tuesday morning after a Successful Countdown. the 53 meter tall launch vehicle stared veering off course. The Vehicle deviated form the vertical path and its business end swung several time into different directions as the engines on the firs stage were gimbaled to correct for the motion. Proton did not re-gain control and flew nearly horizontally for a few seconds before hitting the ground. Immediately after the accident the Video coverage of the launch was Suspended No information form the Baikonur Cosmodrome was Available about the Incident. Disaster Unfolded at the Baikonur Cosmodrome when a Proton-M Rocket Carrying Three Glonass Navigation. Satellites failed Immediately after liftoff and crashed into the Step of Cosmodrome.

Planetary Resources Makes Big Money

Planetary Resources makes Big Money

With Successful Kick Starter bringing in 1.5 million dollars 

   

On June 30, 2013 The biggest Space Based Kick Starter ever came to an end. ARKYD is a Mini Space Telescope for public science in space. With the final Count the Team got to there final goal of 1.5 Million Dollars with $1,501,541. With the Final total of $1,505,366 they got what they wanted. With the ARKYD funded to be built will they do another Kick Starter to Fund a New program.

Will Commercial space Drive Nasa to Explore Mars?

Will Commercial space Drive Nasa to Explore Mars?

What will the price of this exploration Be....

When the Space Shuttle retired in 2011 NASA haven’t launch a Human space flight since then. We are still in space but we are using the Soyuz for transport to and from the ISS. With commercial space flight coming online. Companies like Space X and Boeing bring low Earth orbit Space flight at a lower cost and easy way to get to Space. Which leaves Nasa to explore Mars and beyond Earth orbit. With commercial space Nasa can begin to explore Space at a faster rate than what they do now. Mars is a big goal for Nasa but not just Nasa. If the funds are there we could go to mars. My question is Will commercial space drive Nasa to Mars? The price Nasa will pay will be worth it for human exploration. Will there be loss of missions? Will Nasa Survive the losses of missions?

Will China Beat America in It's Back Yard Space...........

Will China Beat America in it's Back Yard SPACE.........

The Shenzhou 10 Landing 

The shenzhou 10 Landed successful on it 15 day mission. 15 days was a big deal for china on this space mission. With the vast exploration of Chinese human space flight program. Could America be lacking behind space. Should American Citizens who are interested in space be worried about this. No because we have the exploration of all 8 Planets and more space goals. China is just getting started in space and they think it still a space race. The 1960’s was the time for the space race. If they wanted to have a space race with America and Russia. Why didn't they try to launch Humans in space then Why Now? This brings me to the point 15 days that might be just a little amount of time in the now so International space Community. We now have over 100 day missions on the International Space Station. I can say NASA and Russia has been building partnerships in space flight. Why doesn't China build International partnership with NASA? Today we see China as on there own with spaceflight.  America might not have the funds to launch humans into space using NASA. With commercialization of space with companies like SpaceX and Boeing.  Will America be the powerhouse in space? We already been to the moon can we go to Mars? Or will China beat America to Mars.

We Are On Mars What

We are on Mars What...............
No not Really  

 The Mars Society Plans to have a Mock mars mission. They will attempt to have a one year mock mars mission. Near the Canadian High Arctic. This leave me to question could we ever get to Mars? or is Mars to expensive for the human race to send a mission to the red planet. If we could get to Mars why don't we go now.
