　　News 3

　　The first private mission outside of the earth orbit is closed to many of our think. U.S. government officials outset to approve a mission by privately held space company-Moon Express to travel outside of the earth orbit in late 2017. Moon express’s mission involves plans to land a suitcase size package of scientific equipment on the moon for on-going exploration on commercial development. The decision involved amounts of lobbying and coordinated conversations between a number of factual agencies. On the international treaties, the US is responsible for the cargo of both public and private space craft. This makes commercial space travel a complex legal issue not just domestically but abroad. A Moon Express representative declined to comment on the story. But noted that the company is very optimistic about its proposal. Moon express is not the only company seeking for the right to travel to outspace. Elon Musk’s space Ten aims to send an unmanned aircraft to Mars by 2018.
