NASA goes to Mars?

WASHINGTON - The new draft 30-year development of the American space agency NASA - Generation Mars. The goal is, but what the name indicates, the conquest of the Red Planet.
This fantastic goal, however, as well as return to the Moon will not be feasible, if the NASA budget of 18 billion dollars does not strengthen with additional three billion a year.
This is the main conclusion of the debate that has recently led the team of experts with retired aeronautical businessman Norman Augustine headed.
The team was appointed last May, President Barack Obama to be formulated the possible development of NASA in the future.
"Development of the American space program with the human crew is now on the path that is not sustainable," the report states in conclusion Augistinove team, which is not an official document, but about him already discussed in public.
Future of the American space program has already been the subject of debate for years. After the 2003rd aircraft exploded in the atmosphere of Colombia, former President George Bush announced the withdrawal of the Shuttle program.
Bush has also announced a program Konstelejšn, a new generation of spacecraft and rockets similar to those from the Apollo program for the conquest of the moon once.
Within this program, which has already spent eight of the planned $ 40 billion, was supposed to be Americans by 2020. The return to the Moon. However, things fell into financial and technical problems.
As a possible option in the report Augustine team considers delay or complete abandonment of the program Konstelejšn, instead, to NASA could focus on the generation of Mars.
It is now only a rough draft, because it does not even mention its price or time that would be achieved. The team suggests much stronger involvement of the private sector in flights of astronauts to the International Space Station.
The decision about a new vision for NASA to be adopted in October.
