[CE] Nasa and history

Nasa is planning on designing and building a rocket ship that is twenty times more powerful than the Saturn five from about forty years ago. The Saturn five put humans on the moon, which was quite the accomplishment. The awesome thing about the new rocket is that they are taking there time with a budget of roughly 18 billion$$ just to develop, but the outcome will be tremendous. The plan is in 2030 to reach mars with people inside. A huge distance from earth.
                     I have always thought space travel was really fascinating and that NASA was the best in the business which they are. I have never dreamed about working for NASA for anything like that but i respect everyone who is in the space program. The moon was a huge deal for America and the rest of the world, but Mars is wayyyy farther, so it is going to change many things. I don't think we will find life, but possibly just clues on past life. I have seen videos about how there were possible glaciers and frozen ground water on mars from NASA’s video surveillance but that's as far as it got i believe.  I hope it all goes well, and if we do find life, they will come in peace. This project is going to cost billions, which can definitely be spent in other ways to better the American economy and other things, but this will change history. My vote goes toward space travel.
