Nasa in Space in a Month

Nasa in Space in a Month?

Nasa claims they can get people on mars within a month. They say that there is no known problem to stand in there way. They say that they can get there in a month if they can perfect laser technology. Nasa says it will probably take us about 23 days to get to mars. Scientist Philip Lubin claims if they swap the gas engines with engines that run on photons will boost the space travel speeds. Nasa also claims that if we get “ large metal sails” light from lasers in Earth's Orbit will be collected in these sails. Then it will produce energy that will make the spacecraft travel at amazing speeds. Scientists at Nasa say that they can get a small 220 pound spacecraft on mars in as little as 72 hours. A bigger spacecraft could take about a month.

I think that this is a great idea. They could get more history on mars if they can get there faster and more times. They could find out if mars did have life on it. And maybe if they can get to mars in a month think about the possibilities to go to other planets. Then maybe a different solar system.
