      I’m not an astronaut so I haven’t even been to space but maybe one day this might change 🙂

      Actually, no human has gone to Mars. The furthest humans have travelled is to the moon during the NASA Apollo program. Human exploration of space stagnated after the Apollo program ended in 1975. After that, astronauts only travelled to low Earth orbit on various space stations where they actively do experiments and research. NASA in collaboration with ESA is planning to send astronauts back to the moon as part of its Artemis program. This program is meant to be a stepping stone to send astronauts to Mars which is really exciting! More about the Artemis program can be found on https://www.nasa.gov/specials/artemis/

      Nobody has ever been to Mars. Some people think it is a good idea to go. I am not convinced.
