Mars, the red planet, most widely assumed capable of supporting some life form redolent of ours, was once beyond reach, an object of mythical attraction. This red planet has arisen at the head of space exploration as man’s grand journey. The proposition to travel to other worlds is believed to be human destiny, just like Manifest Destiny was meant to be America’s soil (Wilford 210). As new plans and ideas are introduced into the economy, they always generate new troubles, but the nation’s space program creates no obstacle that can cause difficult barriers. The space program encounters the same difficulties that the Defense budgets and other national programs have been creating for quite a while (Logsdon et la 471). On January 14, 2004, President George W. Bush proposed for a future manned mission to Mars. Bush’s proposal has initiated a new path of human exploration to the unknown, which may root a future manned mission to Mars. Bush has launched a new idea with renewed importance on the exploration of our solar system and expansion of human frontiers. But many people believe that even though Bush’s proposal for a manned mission to Mars may be promising, there is also

great uncertainty that the U.S. can afford it (“3,2,1,0”).

The call of Mars echoes through centuries of history. The response was once partial to the imagination, now we can send our machines and soon men will be able to get a sense of the place and report back. Therefore, America indeed will send men to Mars, but before this journey takes place the country has to act as one and plan it well. Decisions made in the coming years will dictate the timing and character of human exploration of the solar system; therefore, money and time will tell. Nonetheless, in the near future, humans without a doubt will go to Mars; but the United States is now faced with deficits that may last for the next half-century (“3,2,1,0”).

The Bush’s administration aims on returning humans to the moon, which will produce the most chaotic reformation at NASA since its establishment. This will cause some research facilities across the nation to face major cuts. President Bush’s future space endeavors that were summarized on Jan.14 guarantees an estimate of $1 billion dollars for space exploration, and should be used over the next five years. This means space programs should rely on the $11 billion dollars taken from other NASA programs such as unidentified programs and changes to the moon project (Vartabedian et al). Space experts are doubtful that Congress will provide space explorations with enough money. If NASA does take a political position, Bush’s plan will help push the development of nuclear power and driving force for future missions into space. Space agencies can benefit financially from
