The planets orbiting cooler stars have a warm climate

There is an assumption that the planets orbiting the cold star may not be on the surface of snow or ice, in contrast to those that rotate around hot. This is possible due to the interaction of starlight with ice and snow on the surface of the planets.

NASA selected the advanced technological concepts for further development

NASA has selected 12 proposals, including two from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena (of California), for the study of the first phase of the Subsidiary Innovative Concepts (NIAC). The program focuses on a detailed study and elaboration of existing concepts without specific algorithm they use to humans. Thus, through this process, it is planned to make a series of scientific fantasies into reality.

Is sending humans to Mars actually feasible?

"The challenge ahead is epic, but historic," says Buzz Aldrin. "We are on a pathway to homestead the Red Planet."

Why go to Mars?

The idea of a manned journey to Mars has animated science fiction for more than a century, and since the dawn of the space age,
