[i]"The Moon to Mars program shall have the interim goal of sending a crewed mission to the lunar surface by 2028 and a goal of sending a crewed mission to orbit Mars by 2033," [URL=https://science.house.gov/imo/media/doc/NASA_AUTH_01_xml.pdf]the bill states[/URL]. The bill would direct NASA to have "full ownership" of a lunar lander rather than buy services from companies. It would also require at least one uncrewed and one crewed test flight of the lander, something not explicitly required by NASA in its current plans... Moreover, the bill directs NASA to develop a human lunar lander "as an integrated lunar landing system carried on an Exploration Upper Stage-enhanced Space Launch System," known as SLS Block 1B... The bill directs NASA to identify "the minimum set of human and robotic lunar surface activities that must be completed to enable a human mission to Mars" and how NASA will complete those activities within five years of the first crewed landing under the program.[/i]
