Content: A current NASA proposal intends to land humans on Mars in the 2030s. With current technologies, manned missions further than Mars would not be feasible, as it would simply take too long to reach the farther planets. As a result, humans will continue to rely on robotic probes and rovers to search for other life in our solar system. While we still don’t know how life might manifest on a different world, the search continues. There are several current and future missions that will shed light on this subject for years to come, while the search for planets outside our solar system continues to ignite the imagination. It is human nature to explore new frontiers, and finding life on other planets may just be the greatest frontier of all.
