The President of the United States Donald trump September 1, 2017 put forward a Republican from Oklahoma Lieutenant commander, U.S. Navy Bridenstine Jim in post 13th head of NASA. Bridenstine, an avid supporter of attracting private companies such as SpaceX and Blue Origin, space exploration, and also denies the impact of human activities on climate change.
Bridenstine, has announced its plans to explore Mars in the questionnaire, which he submitted to the Senate Committee on Commerce, science and transportation: “once Mars had a magnetic field, rivers, lakes and the ocean at the North pole. But at some point Mars has changed dramatically, and we need to understand why. The study of other planets helps us understand more about Earth.”
“Bridenstine rights that the study of Mars will allow to better understand the Earth. Many geographical features of the red planet is really earth-like, for example, the Martian landforms similar to terrestrial glaciers. The head of NASA suggests that if find out why Mars dried out over millions of years, it will be possible to explain what is happening on the Ground. However, the time frame for Mars and Earth are too different. The earth is heating up at an unprecedented rate,” said Tanya Harrison, Director of research space technology and science at the University of Arizona.
The candidacy of Bridenstine, causing a lot of debate, must be approved by the Senate.
