NASA aims to put a man on Mars by 2037 (according to the administrator of the US space agency). This year is the mark for the half-century of the space age (October 1957 was the launch of Sputnik-1). NASA administrator Michael Griffin said that by 2057 (the centenary of the space era), “we should be celebrating 20 years of man on Mars.” There is an international space station being built where humanity can travel first to the moon and then to Mars. It looks like NASA is headed in the right direction to landing man on Mars. President Bush in 04’ talked about his plan for the US to return to the moon by 2020 and that will be used as a stepping stone for a manned mission to Mars.
