So we had life support systems, if youre going to go to mars that have to work for months, possibly over a year, depending on how long it takes you to get there and how long you stay. We have to take the steps to get that in place. Its going to take some time to get a reliable system in place. We can land a metric ton on the surface of mars, thats all we know how to do. Thats about the size of a mini cooper car. If were going to explore mars, it needs to be something bigger than that. There are challenges that we have, we know what the challenges are, but it will take some time to get those technologies ready.
