No American has explored into the deep space since the last Apollo mission returned to Earth at the end of 1972. The United States also lacks the ability to launch its own space programs since July 2011. , when the shuttle program ends.

But the situation will soon be changed. Two major US companies, SpaceX and Boeing, are developing spacecraft to take astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) under a billion-dollar contract with NASA, as well as other space-based astronauts. ready to fly into space in 2018 and 2019.

NASA is rushing to prepare for the mission to bring people to Mars in the mid-2030s, under the direction of former President Barack Obama in 2010. The space agency is also in the final stages to complete the system. SLS super powerful rocket launcher and Orion cargo ship.

Orion and SLS are scheduled to launch into space in 2018, for the first time an unmanned flight, circling the Moon's orbit and this is called the Exploration Mission 1 (Exploration Mission 1). or EM-1). But recently, NASA has considered sending astronauts on this mission, and moving the launch date to 2019.

If EM-1 can't keep up with the Moon, SpaceX will do this. Private company SpaceX said on February 27 that it will hold a flight with two astronauts flying around the Moon by the end of 2018. The mission will use the Dragon ship launched by Falcon rocket 9.

SpaceX also targets itself on Mars. In September 2016, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, said the company had planned an interplanetary transport system (ITS), which would bring thousands of people to Mars. If all goes well, the first flight is expected to be deployed in 2020.
