"We could find microbial life and/or find evidence that life existed at one time on Mars."
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine granted an interview to FRANCE 24 on the sidelines of the 2019 Paris Air Show. He discussed the US space agency's plans to return to the Moon - this time sending women astronauts - ahead of an eventual mission to Mars. Bridenstine also told us more about plans to allow tourists to travel to the International Space Station, and shared his thoughts on whether there is life somewhere in the universe beyond Earth.
Astronauts might one day sleep their way to Mars by spending much of the long, arduous journey in hypothermic hibernation chambers.
Another giant leap towards a mission to Mars: expendable structures could be the next extraterrestrial breakthrough, as they weight less to launch and are more compact on the rocket. On arrival, they can be inflated to provide safe and sustainable living quarters, work spaces and laboratories for people living in space.
