"That there will not be a manned flight to Mars in 2028, nor in 2031, and probably not for twenty years after that."

"I'd say that [2040] is an audacious goal for us to meet."

"I’m thinking somewhere between 2040 and 2050."

"Humans are unlikely to step foot on Mars until the 2040s/2050s at the earliest, and there’ll never be a significant human settlement there because Mars is basically uninhabitable."

"Since nothing ever seems to go exactly according to plan, I'd expect something more like 2040."

"Space agencies hoping to send crewed missions to Mars by the early 2030s will either have to double down on their budgets or settle for less ambitious missions."

"And if we persevere on this pathway, we can reach Mars itself before 2035."

"We want to achieve a Mars landing in 2033."

"Humans will set out for Mars in the 2029 or 2031 windows, most likely."

"I think that the first human mission to Mars will take place about 2030, even though it is not currently on NASA’s schedule or any other space agency."

"Human landings [on Mars] may start as soon as 2029, although 2031 is more likely."

Will humans be sent to Mars before 2036?

A 2024 FBI document describes a former U.S. Army intelligence officer and four unit members observing a "potato"-shaped UAP over the Cheyenne Mountains in Colorado in 2022. The object was described as opalescent white, somewhat translucent and composed of irregular, fish scale-like panels before vanishing after about two minutes.

The releases were prompted by an executive order signed by President Trump directing the Pentagon to disclose UFO-related documents. The first and second tranches were released on May 8 and May 22, 2026, respectively, bringing the total number of declassified UAP files to 456.
