In an interview with the American channel “Fox News,” Duffy stated, “We aim to reach Mars in the early 2030s, and this is extremely important. There will be a journey lasting more than eight months to reach Mars, and then we must stay there for a period before returning.” He added that the experience gained from lunar missions will play a crucial role in ensuring the astronauts’ survival during the mission. It is noted that U.S. President Donald Trump promised during his inauguration ceremony in January to achieve an unprecedented space mission by sending astronauts to “plant the American flag.”
