Enthusiastic 88-year-old Neil Armstrong, buzz Aldrin does not hold. We have to admit that his ideas have one very interesting and important detail. Aldrin believes that before we tackle Mars, we must master the moon. Again by landing on the moon, we can build a gas station and a spaceport for regular flights to Mars. According to the plans Aldrin, will require approximately 10 years for lunar exploration, and preparation for subsequent flights.
A Permanent base on the moon needs to use the lunar ice to produce liquid oxygen and hydrogen fuel. This will help ensure the missions to Mars without support from Earth. Plan astronaut looks like this:

- sending a crew to an asteroid in 2026; the

In this mission, Aldrin wants to attract all comers. Continuation of the work will deal with his son, who currently is the Director of the space Institute Aldrin, and previously worked at Boeing and United Launch Alliance.
