Expandable habitats may take us to Mars

  • Expandable habitats have only been tested in low-Earth orbit
  • Tested between 85 miles - 2,000 miles in altitute 
  • Believe habitats are too big (reason why they can't travel the distance needed)
  • Hope to remake habitats to have the potential needed to travel throughout the solar system
  • NASA are planning to spend more than $50 million for things such as: life support systems and radiation protection 
  • NASA still do not know when they can send humans to Mars
