Mars 2020, a busy year!

As I was searching for news of NMS Beyond (无人深空 Beyond) in China, I came across the following article:
中国将于2020年正式开启探索火星计划,VR太空体验“先行一步” VRPinea (you may wish to translate)

The article talks about China’s plans for their 2020 Mars mission. VR seems to be a useful preparation tool and apparently they will be playing a lot of No Man’s Sky Beyond, to make their Mars mission a success. :rofl:

2020 is sure going to be an interesting year when it comes to Mars missions. Not only China (CNSA) is in preparation for Mars, but the United Arab Emirates (MBRSC), Europe (ESA) with Russia (SRI RAS/Roscosmos), and the United States (NASA/JPL) are are all shooting for Mars in 2020. They all aim for launches around July, to arrive somewhere in 2021 with orbiters and/or rovers to explore and do research. It will be busy next year and I am looking forward to see what comes of it :wink:

In the end, it is Earth that will invade Mars, not vice versa.
