NASA’s primary goal is to develop opportunities to explore the universe.
The first tests for the rocket NASA is working on could take place in 2027.
NASA has partnered with the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
The POT never ceases to amaze us and this time was no exception as it will develop a rocket that you will be able to carry out future crews to Mars.
Exotic vacations to Europe, Asia or Africa, in the future will be nothing, because the novelty will be trips to other planets, in this case to Mars or even to the Moon, which now sounds far-fetched; however, the progress of the technology each day has a faster progress that could be possible in the future, today it is something unknown and impossible, but it is thought that this will be a reality for humanity, it has even been believed in the idea that at some point they will be inhabited others planets.
NASA and technology
It is well known that the National Aeronautics Administration (POT) is constantly developing and innovating new technologies as it is responsible for the civil space program, as well as for research aeronautics Y aerospaceso it practically needs a high technological and futuristic level, it even has its own robot that is one of the most intelligent, its name is Robonaut 2, is an android created by the engineers of the POT Y General Engines to serve on the International Space Station (ISS). This robot is nicknamed R2 after the famous character from ‘Star Wars’, and is the first of its kind capable of complex tasks and, in the future, spacewalks, this model is similar to an astronaut.
Manufacturing workers are getting an extra “hand” on the job site thanks to a grip-strengthening glove based on a robotic astronaut assistant.

Also, this agency recently released the POT will investigate a new type of ship that will not need to use fuel but sunlight to levitate from the earth’s surface to the limits of the mesosphere, the layer 80 kilometers high where most meteorites are destroyed when they reach our planet. Once there, the ship would be able to travel to other places horizontally, this is something really futuristic.
NASA will work on a new rocket for future trips to Mars
Recently the POT confirmed something that had been thought about for a long time, travel to marsWhat seems far away today will be a reality in the future, as this agency seeks to work on and develop a nuclear thermal rocket that could take people to see that planet. Clearly, the goal is for this to be fast and safe. To achieve this, he sought support, since it is known that unity is strength, which is why he associated himself with the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and it is thought that the first tests could be carried out in 2027.
“We partnered with @DARPA to demonstrate a nuclear thermal rocket engine in space. This new engine would allow us to do more science and get to destinations faster, in addition to the key steps to send the first manned mission to Mars, ”said NASA via Twitter.

This collaboration represents great advances that will have a notable impact so that new opportunities continue to be developed for humans to be able to explore space in the best way, or that today seems impossible in the future will be a reality.
