NASA Chief Says Mars One Does Not Stand A Chance Without NASA
During a Senate budget meeting, NASA chief administrator Charles Bolden said private companies will not reach Mars without NASA's help.
Mars One, the Netherlands-based nonprofit that wants to send human colonists to Mars using private-industry rockets, has been widely criticized for its unrealistic goals and timeline. This week, in a U.S. House Committee hearing for NASA's 2016 budget, NASA chief administrator Charles Bolden told the committee that "No commercial company without the support of NASA and government is going to get to Mars," reports Engadget. Bolden's statement, while not a direct reference to Mars One, certainly seems to support the skepticism surrounding the project.
