Misiunea NASA către Marte ar putea depăși 2 miliarde de dolari

NASA plans to invest over $2 billion in its upcoming nuclear propulsion mission to Mars, named 'Space Reactor-1 Freedom'. The project aims to launch by late 2028 and will focus on sending autonomous helicopters to gather scientific data. Funding will be allocated from the space exploration budget, with significant amounts earmarked for the next few years. NASA is also collaborating with the Department of Energy to develop the necessary nuclear reactor. While the agency believes it can manage costs within the current budget, details on funding for the scientific mission 'SkyFall' remain unclear.
