This R&D provides resources on a planned U.S. manned mission to Mars.  The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is planning a mission that would see future astronauts land on an asteroid in 2025 and go to Mars in 2030.  Doing so will require significant technological advances and a long-term vision by American politicians to fund such a mission, but the popularity of Matt Damon’s recent film The Martian may help to give momentum to the idea of putting an American on Mars by the end of NASA’s time frame.
