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.
