What were the three phases of the space program?

What were the three space programs developed to put man in space and on the moon?
The three main space programs developed for human space travel and moon missions are NASA (United States), Soviet space program (USSR), and the Apollo program (United States), which was a part of NASA focused specifically on landing astronauts on the moon.
What will replace the space shuttles?
The Constellation program will take over from the space shuttle. See the link below.The Space Shuttle will be replaced by the Ares rocket system. The Ares heavy-lift rocket has a bigger payload than the Shuttle,the Shuttle can lift about 22 tons into low earth orbit, the Ares can lift 188 tons in low earth orbit. The Ares payload bay is three times larger than the Shuttle's. Old-style rockets and splashdown recoveries might not be as cool as the Shuttle, but they're cheaper and can actually do more.As of this writing (December 2010) the three remaining Space Shuttles are scheduled to be retired shortly. For the past few years, the US NASA (National Aeronautical and Space Administration) has been planning a new manned-spaceflight system called Orion/Ares. Orion is the manned segment (like Apollo) and Ares is the launch vehicle (like Saturn).Very recently this fall, NASA has indicated that it may scrap plans for Orion/Ares.This would leave the US space program without its own manned space flight program.There are no more servicing missions to Hubble scheduled, so the need for manned flight is somewhat arbitrary at this point -- as there are only fleeting thoughts of returning to the Moon, or going to Mars with manned flight.Future US manned flight to, say the International Space Station, would be accomplished via Russian launch and manned flight systems.

Apollo program followed NASA's Mercury program, which put the first Americans in space.Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon, on 20 July 1969.

Is China sending people to Mars?
Not yet; their space program is not quite that ambitious. They are sending a rover to Mars though for a three month mission. They anticipate sending it out in late 2020. They are also planning a manned Moon mission in 2036 or so.
