Get in, losers, we're going to Mars.
on NASA's objectives for human space exploration, we got an early glimpse of what a 30 day crewed mission to the surface of Mars could eventually look like.
Two crew would remain in orbit while a further two would visit the surface of Mars. The latter would have access to supplies sent to the surface beforehand via a 25-ton Mars lander, providing surface power and mobility, as well as a fueled up pre-deployed crew ascent vehicle to get them both back into orbit later.
In the not-so-distant future, missions to Mars could range from just 30 days on the surface, which would take just short of two Earth years to complete factoring in travel times, to almost 500 days on the surface, long-stay missions that could take 916 days to complete.

Landsat Legacy: NASA-USGS Program Observing Earth from Space Turns 50On a warm July day in 1972, NASA launched a new Earth-imaging satellite called the Earth Resources Technology Satellite. The first Landsat was so successful it led to a series of satellites that have created the longest contiguous record of Earth’s surface from a space-eye view – that continues growing to this day, 50 years later.
