A return mission from Mars will need to land a rocket to carry crew off the surface. Launch requirements mean that this rocket could be significantly smaller than an Earth-to-orbit rocket. Mars-to-orbit launch can also be achieved in single stage. Despite this, landing an ascent rocket back on Mars will be difficult. [citation needed]
Over the years, Elon Musk had offered 2024 and 2026 when asked to predict when SpaceX might be able to send crewed missions to Mars. Elon Musk has another prediction for when humans will land on ...
This week, explore the technology that could allow humans to live on Mars, uncover the truth of a Neanderthal flower burial, see a leggy birdlike dinosaur, and more.
A successful colonization, meaning an established human presence on Mars growing over many decades, would ultimately involve many more economic actors than SpaceX. [43] [44] [45] For reference, Musk's timeline for the colonization of Mars involves a crewed mission as early as 2029 and the development of a self-sustaining colony by 2050. [46]

NASA's "Perseverance" rover is set to land on Mars Thursday. NASA launched the rover in July. It's NASA's first mission to look for signs of ancient life on another planet to explore whether it ...
Mars 1962A was a Mars flyby mission, launched on October 24, 1962, and Mars 1962B an intended first Mars lander mission, launched in late December of the same year (1962). Both failed from either breaking up as they were going into Earth orbit or having the upper stage explode in orbit during the burn to put the spacecraft into trans-Mars ...
A Mars landing is a landing of a spacecraft on the surface of Mars. Of multiple attempted Mars landings by robotic , uncrewed spacecraft, ten have had successful soft landings. There have also been studies for a possible human mission to Mars including a landing, but none have been attempted.
