Asteroid-Capture Mission Will Bring Mars Within Reach, NASA Chief - TopicsExpress

Asteroid-Capture Mission Will Bring Mars Within Reach, NASA Chief Says By Miriam Kramer, Staff Writer NASAs wild plan to capture an asteroid and park it near the moon is only one step on the way to Mars, NASA chief Charles Bolden said Wednesday (March 26). The space agency is planning an ambitious mission to send a robotic spacecraft to an asteroid, bag the space rock and bring it into orbit around the moon. While the asteroid-capture mission may sound like a huge task in its own right, Bolden thinks that its only one leap toward a larger mission. The space agency should be focused on getting humans to Mars and establishing a presence on the Red Planet for years to come, Bolden said. The ultimate thing … is to put boots on the ground on Mars, and thats not just to do a touch and go, Bolden said during a forum about the asteroid initiative Wednesday. Its to live there one of these days. [NASAs Asteroid Capture Mission in Photos] Asteroid Sample Retrieval This concept image shows an astronaut retrieving a sample from the captured asteroid.
