NASA: "Man on Mars by 2037"

Here is an interesting article. It talks about NASA's goal to put man on Mars by the year 2037, as stated by the administrator of the US Space Agency. Their plan includes using the international space station that is being built in orbit as a middle-point, where "humanity can travel first to the Moon and then to Mars." NASA administrator Michael Griffin said, "We are looking at the Moon and Mars to build a civilization for tomorrow and after that." He continued to say that in 2057, we should be celebrating 20 years of man on Mars. I hope they stay on schedule, because that would be totally awesome to go to Mars.
