What is the future for space travel?

Answer 1

Well one possible way would be the plasma engine, which propels the space craft using ions which are thrust out of the fuselage. This is extremely efficient and can run for years on which a space craft now would run in days. Although it is much faster it would still take 40 years to get to the closest star but 39 days to get to mars years.

Answer 2

Yes. In addition to several manned earth-orbiting missions, Space Shuttle missions,

and astronauts stationed aboard the International Space Station for months at a time,

there were six Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972 that landed pairs of astronauts

on the surface of the moon and then returned them safely to earth.

As "possible" as it is, there is currently (mid-2011) no planning, designing, researching,

funding, or budgeting in progress toward any further manned space missions after the

last Space Shuttle flight. At least in the USA.

Answer 3

As a pilot

As a payload specialist

As a tourist.

Answer 4

Is a manned flight to Mars worth the cost and risk?

Answer 5

Most likely solar energy but on reserve rocket fuel for sunless times.

Answer 6

The future is looking relable.
