1. • Half a trillion dollars

     • A recent estimate of the cost of the first human mission to Mars suggests that it could cost “half a trillion dollars.” This estimate is consistent with most past estimates. A similar cost number can easily be derived using mass-cost estimating factors based on the International Space Station (ISS) and other experience.

   • Build on the successful Artemis I mission and pave the way for a long-term presence at the Moon. The budget’s $8.1 billion to enable unprecedented lunar exploration activities also will prepare for the next giant leap, sending astronauts to Mars, through NASA’s Moon to Mars exploration approach.
   • Further new scientific discovery in our solar system and beyond. The budget provides $949 million for the U.S.- led Mars Sample Return mission, which will return rock and soil samples to Earth to expand our understanding of the solar system and pave the way for human exploration.
   • Support a future in low-Earth orbit. Regular crewed missions to the International Space Station will enable multiple commercial partners to build a robust space economy where NASA is one of many customers.
   • Advance U.S. leadership in technology innovation in aviation and space. The budget invests more than $500 million in a suite of technologies that will help meet the administration’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions from the aviation sector no later than 2050.

   This means that the cost of a long stay human Mars mission is estimated at roughly $300 to $600 billion. The higher cost allows an earlier landing in 2033 but the more restricted budget will postpone it to past 2050.

   How much did NASA spend on Mars?

   • NASA had produced another cost estimate of $541 billion for 34 years of lunar and Mars operations, also roughly split in half. After this, the media often reported that the costs of Bush’s plan were either $400-$500 billion, or $400-$550 billion.

   How much will a Mars mission cost?

   • Mars will be a greater achievement than the moon, but it is not easy to plan and fund as if it was business as usual. The assertion that a human Mars mission will cost about 500 billion dollars is well established and widely known. It was recomputed using very simple cost estimating.

   How much money did NASA spend on space exploration?

   • The VSE, like the earlier Space Exploration Initiative (SEI), included robotic, moon, and Mars missions. NASA's 2004 budget projections, “based on long-term affordability,” increased year by year from 3 billion to 5, 10, and finally to 15 or 18 billion dollars per year from 2004 to 2020.

   How many miles will astronauts travel to Mars?

   • Astronauts bound for Mars will travel about 140 million miles into deep space. Advancements in propulsion capabilities are the key to reaching our destination as quickly and safely as possible. It is too soon to say which propulsion system will take astronauts to Mars, but we know it needs to be nuclear-enabled to reduce travel time.
