Early, on last Saturday, SpaceX's Dragon Spacecraft splashed down into the Pacific Ocean bringing hundreds of pounds of cargo, as a result of long-term research on board the ISS, and hopefully the experiments made on board could aid in the development of more efficient solar cells and semiconductor-based electronics, the development of plants better suited for space and improvements in sustainable agriculture.
The third commercial re-supply flight by a Cygnus spacecraft to the ISS will transport some 5,000 pounds of supplies and experiments to the orbiting laboratory and it'll be launched next November 2d.
According to Sam Scimemi, director of the ISS division at the NASA headquarters in Washington, “This mission enabled research critical to achieving NASA's goal of long-duration human spaceflight in deep space.”
According to some experts everything is being settled for Mars long journey, and according to Buzz, for a long term stay on the Red Planet.
