Could man survive a trip to Mars?
2004
Overview
This month NASA learned a little more about the human race's chances on Mars with the successful landing of Spirit, the six- wheeled Mars rover. Giant airbags protected the spacecraft as it hit Mars and then deflated as planned, allowing a clear view for photographs. Spirit's high-gain antenna, a lollipop-shaped gizmo that can send data directly back to Earth, required a little tweaking to get a clear view of the planet, but soon began beaming black-and-white pictures to NASA to furious and relieved applause. \"The biggest showstoppers, I think, for Mars are understanding human physiology and learning to do something about it for long trips,\" says Mike Duke, who had been the chief scientist in NASA's exploration office. People have spent more than 14 months in orbit on space stations. A round trip to Mars would take 18 to 30 months.
