NASA has announced that they plan to put a man on Mars by 2037. The plan is that when International Aeronautical Congress (IAC) holds its centenary in 2057 they will be able to celebrate the 20th anniversary of putting a man on Mars. NASA said they are looking beyond the moon and even Mars now. They are trying to figure out the best use of the International Space Station (ISS) and are looking to way to reduce it operational costs, such as solar power.
NASA is also encouraging the privatization of rocket and satellite launches, which they believe will also lead the way for space tourism. NASA, however, is still worried about controlling that aspect of space travel since there is nothing about space tourism in the US Space Act.
