Ares is the future of space travel?

Space travel are a difficult topic, even if the technology on Earth is developing at tremendous speed, that the same cannot be said truly to space travel. If we cast our minds back over five decades ago will remember that the mission to the Moon captured every imagination of the people. But really not much has been done since then.

NASA has for the last few years developing a shuttle called Ares for the new constellation program. The basic purpose of the program is to gain much more experience actually in humans and spend time by Earth crafts and developing technologies to go into outer space.

Similar to the Apollo spacecraft will fly in an Earth orbit, NASA has worked to collect the current shuttle fleet and start to fly the Ares program by 2015. It is said that a mission to Mars will not be until after 2030, but before that astronauts would rather visit a nearby asteroid.

Personally I think this is moving very slowly, at the time that NASA attempts to visit Mars more than 100 years would have passed since visiting the moon. I mean space exploration holds the key to life and the key to curing diseases. By exploring space we get much more intelligent.

But the program Ares and constellation will be the future of any type of journey into space? Well might well be, I mean, millions of dollars are invested in it and we all know that the Apollo program had had its day. They need to make a shuttle which is much faster. Mars is the next step, but what after Mars? Where do we go from there? It's very hard to contemplate, but with the current shuttle there is no way that they would be able to go beyond the distance of Mars.

As well as safety, most of the effort must be pushed to actually do it faster, the shuttles for space exploration, something needs to be created to travel near the speed of light. In this case, then we are not just limited to just explore our Galaxy, but can explore them all. I mean on the ground is only going to last a number of years, before the change of atmosphere, so humans need to find another way to survive. Whatever develops I am sure that certainly will be something of great public interest.
