at our current pace..how long will it take before there is a manned aircraft past the moon?

Answer 1

First of all it would have to be a 'spacecraft.' Second of all, NASA is going way to slow and they are a bunch of pansies. It will take us maybe 60 years until we decide what's past the moon is important. We have the technology, its that we just don't want to do it.

Answer 2

Ditto answers about "aircraft", but as far as spacecraft go, that would be 1968. Apollo 8 was the first manned spacecraft to go further from the Earth than the Moon.

Answer 3

Probably a long time. Aircraft need air to lift them. The moon is in short supply of air.

Answer 4

A spacecraft, yes but not an aircraft. A space shuttle is lanned to be sent to Mars in 2040. There will be many more satellites sent there before, not to deploy rovers but to transport nuclear generators, food, and shelter.

Answer 5

I'd say about 25 years from now, when the moon base is constructed and the technology and money are available and feasible to do so. We will eventually venture to Mars.

Answer 6

Never, there is no air in space. As far as manned spacecraft go who knows. It is pretty darned expensive to send men into space and there is not a lot of point either.

Answer 7

There is a project in the works for 5-10 yrars from now to send a manned "SPACECRAFT" to MARS....

Answer 8

Maybe a hundred more years! No one cares about space exploration anymore; they only care about war and destruction!

Answer 9

Just as soon as there is air in space...I wouldn't hold your breath.

Answer 10

i dont really care,
