Summary: From the lack of support coming from congress, there may never be a time that man will step on mars. Even if Congress happens to allow NASA to send humans to mars, Elon Musk and SpaceX might have already established themselves on mars. I wouldn't bet against Musk, or SpaceX. But the truth is we need NASA in this hunt. We need NASA working – in real time, with deadlines and budgets and goals – toward an effort to send humans to Mars. But that isn't happening. It's left NASA in a technical support role, offering deep-space communications network support while others in private industry take the risks – and achieve the glory.
Analysis: Anyone else having a flash back to when society thought we'd never land on mars. How
about the cold hard fact that on July 16, 1969, U.S. astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins successfully achieved their first lunar landing on the Apollo 11 space mission. Even though we happen to land on the moon we weren't the first to be in space that achievement was given to sputnik a satellite that was sent into orbit by the soviet union.
