Phobos orbits Mars every seven hours from an altitude of 9,380 kilometers. The moon of Mars is just 17 by 12 miles wide and is composed of carbon-rich rock with likely some ice beneath the surface similar to a C-type asteroid. One theory posits that Phobos (CNN)Mars is getting all the space-related love these days with the release of Matt Damon's hit film "The Martian," but what about the moon? Unlike Mars, we've actually been there, and there's a huge new trove of photos from the Apollo space missions to Besides, there is the problem of time taken and the costs in traversing the distance to Mars - a whopping seven months one way - or, three days even for the Earth's natural satellite, the moon, and much more for other distant planets in our solar system. A fervent believer in settling Mars to preserve human existence on Earth which is to launch an automated spacecraft to land on the moon as part of Google’s Lunar XPRIZE. Aldrin’s knowledge of SpaceIL stems in part from his close ties with the first to low-Mars orbit and possibly one of the planet's moons, and then to touch down on the surface. Together, the phases are intended to address three hurdles NASA sees as fundamental in getting to Mars: transportation (the ability for humans and cargo including the asteroids and even the moons of mars,” said Naveen Jain, Moon Express Co-Founder and Chairman. “We are now taking advantage of exponential technology like 3D printing and inexpensive sensors to collapse the capital needed to access the Moon. .

Galileo’s observations of Mars through his telescope, Cassini’s revelation of the polar ice caps in 1666, and Asaph Hall’s discovery of the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos in 1877 only served to make the red planet even more appealing; but it was Kennedy; there was an impetus to beat the Soviet Union to the moon, to assert not just worldwide dominance, but technological dominance. There is no such drive to get humans to Mars. “Unfortunately, you have to run space programs on public interest Besides, there is the problem of the time taken and the costs of traversing the distance to Mars — a whopping seven months one way — or three days even for the Earth’s natural satellite, the moon and much more for other distant planets in our solar Related: Why NASA and Matt Damon Love 'The Martian' The final part of the plan involves sending astronauts to orbit the Red Planet and possibly landing on one of its moons. Then comes the hardest part: landing human beings on Mars with the equipment to get .
