In 2057, the centenary of the space era, "we should be celebrating 20 years of man on Mars," Griffin told as he outlined NASA's future goals; [video about exploration of Mars].
Dr. Griffin said the next step in space exploration would be one step beyond the International Space Station (ISS), where 15 partners of the U.S. were engaged in building a platform for humanity above the earth’s atmosphere. “We will learn from that — how to go beyond — first back to the moon and stay there for a substantial length of time and then on to Mars [video]. In the process, we will build a civilisation for tomorrow and after that,” he declared.
