Whether Americans will fly to Mars - how it depends on the results of the election of the President of the United States
There are a few hours before the elections in the USA. And among other consequences, for us who are interested in Mars explorations, it is primarily interesting how the results of these elections may affect the preparation of the American manned expedition to Mars.
Further translation of the article showing that the current leadership of NASA is dreaming of sending people to Mars in the 30s of the twenty-first century, and in this regard, Charlie Bolden intends to seek from Obama a mandate to send people to Mars .

On October 17, 2012, NASA held a series of meetings dedicated to the future of the Agency’s strategic directions. Some participants joined the discussions by phone. The focus was on the future of the International Space Station (ISS). The Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate team on exploration and planning for missions presented the launch plans for the ISS until 2028.
These long-term operational plans for the ISS are not good enough, according to NASA chief executive Charlie Bolden. Bolden says he needs to know directly from President Obama whether a manned flight to Mars is planned after 2030 as the main goal for NASA. If this is not the President’s goal for NASA, then Bolden wonders why NASA should continue funding the ISS for another decade and a half.
Once Bolden turned up and said that "The goal is Marsl." Bolden said he was determined to come to the White House, "knocking the table with his shoe," and demanding President Obama’s commitment that NASA send people to Mars. Bolden said that he needed these commitments, which would allow him to decide what to do or not to do in relation to the expansion of the ISS. Given that the administration is now focused on re-election, it is rather unlikely that Bolden will knock Obama’s shoe in the White House anytime soon. Given the uncertainty of the congressional election and the threat of a sequestration, it is highly unlikely that any formal confirmation of the multi-year program focused on a manned mission to Mars will occur in the foreseeable time under President Obama. Bolden’s influence on the Obama administration implies, of course, that he remains as head of NASA in the second Obama administration. But I'm not sure that “knocking the shoe” will help him in this.
As for the effect of Bolden's “knock-off shoe” against the people of Romney in cases of their gain, then the sketch of their space policy is now rather vague. But they made it quite clear that there would be no increase in the budget for NASA. In addition, it is unlikely that Charlie Bolden will be able to maneuver like Dan Goldin and remain the head of the Agency in the Romney administration.
What is a little incomprehensible in this concern of Bolden and his conversations behind closed doors about Mars with the President is that the President has already spoken quite a lot on this topic. Below is a random collection of search results from the White House website for the words "Mars NASA." It would seem that President Obama does when he mentions a manned mission to Mars almost every time he talks about NASA? Thus, the adaptation of the Agency's efforts in these areas, it would seem, is exactly what the president expects from Charlie Bolden's actions, right?
NASA is considering a one-year flight on the ISS, and there is talk about a manned station on the Moon, perhaps built using the components and / or technologies of the ISS - in any case, the ISS can be expected to be used as an element of a wider infrastructure of human space in space than assumed at the present time.
If Charlie Bolden wants an immediate presidential statement about Kennedy or Bush-style space politics, I would advise him to turn on the TV. With the current state of the economy and the world, this simply will not happen in the near future.
Obama's Favorite Comments on NASA and Mars
The OMB FY 13 consolidated budget estimate “ implements a lower cost of Mars exploration program by robots that will promote science and also help lay the foundation for the future development of man by man "
The twenty-first century of space exploration: "The next chapter, which we can write together here at NASA , the White House" at the beginning of the next decade, a series of flights with crews will check and prove the efficiency of the systems necessary for reconnaissance outside the near-earth orbit, and by 2025 we expect that a new spacecraft designed for long flights will appear, which will allow us to begin the first manned mission out of the moon in deep space, so we will start ... by sending astronauts to asteroids for the first time history. By the mid-2030s, I believe we will be able to send people to the orbit of Mars and safely return them to Earth, and then landing on Mars will follow. And I expect to be there to see it . "
NASA announced the next steps of US launches from the US , the White House. And, secondly, just two years ago, at the Kennedy Space Center, President Obama set himself the goal of sending people to deep space - to asteroids in 2025 and to Mars in the 2030s . "
President Obama’s message to the NASA Mars Mars rover " What you have accomplished embodies the American spirit," the president said. "We expect Curiosity to tell us about what we did not know before, and lay the foundation for even bolder enterprises in the future - the human mission to Mars." Obama said the landing of Curiosity has achieved the goal of improving education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. “This is the thing that inspires children all over the country,” he said. "They tell their moms and dads that they want to be part of a mission to Mars, maybe even the first person to set foot on Mars ."
NASA is an earth rover the size of a car at the Martian mountain , head of NASA Charles Bolden: " This is an amazing achievement made possible by a team of scientists and engineers from around the world and led by outstanding men and women from NASA and our Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Jet Propulsion Laboratory). President Obama outlined a bold vision of sending people to Mars in the mid-2030s, and today's landing marks a significant step towards achieving this goal . "
President's statement on the launch of the space shuttle Atlantis , the White House " Today's launch may mean the last flight of the space shuttle, but it pushes us into the next era of our endless adventures pushing to the borders of exploration and discovery in space. We are moving towards new achievements in science and technology "We are increasing knowledge, education, innovation and economic growth. And I have instructed NASA men and women to have a new, ambitious task: To reach new borders in space exploration, ultimately, to send Americans to Mars ."
President Obama calls the crews of Atlantis and the ISS , NASA “The President wants NASA to capitalize on American entrepreneurial energy to manage the competition to reach the near-Earth orbit and the space station, while at the same time setting a new and ambitious task for NASA men and women: ultimately sending Americans to Mars .
