The agency released its top objectives for a 30-day, two-person Mars surface mission on Tuesday (May 17) and asked the public to provide feedback on how the planning is going. Submissions were initially due on May 31, but that deadline was recently extended to June 3.
NASA aims to launch astronauts to Mars by the late 2030s or early 2040s. Making that vision a reality will be challenging. Assuming the funding and technology come into play at the right time, for example, the round-trip travel time would still be about 500 days given the distance between Earth and Mars.

We know how to get to Mars. We know how to orbit Mars, we know how to land on Mars. We have a good idea about Mars environments, so now, how to turn that into a human doing it. I hope we’ll be able to land a man or woman on Mars in my time.
