• Resumen

  • The author discusses how the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have reevaluated their approach to space exploration, specifically in regards to the planet Mars. Initially, the program sent a large, expensive space craft to the planet to collect data, but lost contact with it before it had reached its intended orbit. Since then, NASA has focused on creating smaller, less expensive probes that can be launched more frequently.
