A trip to Mars and back would take more than a year. The /equipment/, supplies and fuel for such a trip would /require/ a vast rocket to launch a spacecraft from Earth. A return trip to the outer planets would take a lifetime. For the time being, /scientific research/ remain the best way of exploring distant worlds. Work is under way on a new international /shuttle/, which will be a base for a /space station/ . It is a modular structure, being built in space module-by-module, with sections being /delivered/ into orbit by the /space probes/ and unmanned launch vehicles. In the future, space stations such as this, or permanent bases on the Moon, could be a starting point for /space journeys/. Spacecraft would be /built/ and launched from there rather than from Earth.
