C. Answer the questions 12%

In 1969 after Us astronaut Neil Armstrong first arrived on the moon, he called it “one giant leap for mankind”. Now the united states wants to take another giant leap and set foot on Mars.

On Oct. 11,the us president Barack Obama published an article about his Mars plan on CNN. It sets a goal of sending humans to mars by the 2030s.”they have gone to space not just to visit , but to stay,” wrote president Obama. It means that the us government will compete with private companies. According to the article, private companies will for the first time send astronauts to the international space station within the next two years. Space companies such as Boeing co and space X might be the cooperators. They may also build the rockets needed to get to Mars.

Cooperating with companies may speed up the Mars plan and lower the cost , said Marco Caceres, space analyst at the Teal Group. If the us space agency NASA carries out the MARs , plan alone in the traditional way, it could cost at least 1dollars trillion. And large space plans can often be put off if congress does not grant enough money, according to Caceres.

Although the us has great plans about mars, other countries and areas are catching up. The European space agency sent a probe to mars this year. China’s first mars probe came out on Aug 23 and it will go to mars by the end of 2020.
