NASA wanting the first human being to step on Mars is not a bad idea, but really, they should give up their fantasies, stop exploiting that planet, and leave it at peace.
NASA wanting to step on Mars is all ego and just astronauts trying to get more attention.
It will be extremely hard to find the right technology to protect humans when they step on Mars without being killed. I’m sure the first human being on Mars will happen one day but not for a long time.
It will indeed mark world history and be in the history books forever, it would be amazing if NASA can visit Mars and survive when leaving the planet…but you never know how safe or dangerous Mars could be.
If the first man to step on Mars someday, it wouldn’t surprise me if the first man dies and never leaves the planet back to Earth alive.
Why don’t they try stepping foot on other planets? Saturn looks like a cool planet to visit and Pluto looks like a cool little planet to try out too. Just leave Mars alone.

I don’t know why these NASholes need to feed their ego so badily all the times.
They need to leave things alone that they don’t know nothing about.
I think they would not leave there alive either. It is a waste of tax money and we should go to somewhere less crazy than Mars. That’s just insane and all them “scientists” are trying to act like they are not scared or something because they’re called nerds their whole lifes.
I think Pluto is way more better to go to. They got to stop taking these crazy chances with an American’s life.
Even Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong and Dick Delaware and Alan Shepard wouldn’t go nowhere near Mars. This president needs to be impeached for wasting our money on illegal Mexicans and welfare mamas down in NYC and on trips to Mars.
ROCK THE BOWTIE, CHICKIEBABY!
