Question 2
Part B

Which detail best supports the answer to Part A?

“NASA's costs are much higher. It thinks that such a mission would ultimately cost $1 trillion.”

“Phase 1: requires that we build bigger and better spacecraft. This will transport the crew with all of the supplies it needs to survive.”

“NASA currently has plans to send a human mission to Mars by 2033. There are five phases, or steps.”
