The Moon is attracting much attention these days as NASA is ready for its Artemis I launch and preparing for more to follow.The mission objectives are clear：develop a sustainable presence on its surface and pave the way to go to Mars.
   And then what？What's the next great leap in humans' quest for the secrets of the universe？When it comes to the near future scientific exploration，there are a few areas of the solar system that will be receiving some special attention.
   First off，there's Venus，a planet which was a relative paradise with oceans and a pleasant atmosphere.Something went terribly wrong there a few billion years ago，and NASA has scheduled a series of missions to explore what exactly is going on there.
   At the other end are the gas giants.Several of the satellites of Jupiter and Saturn are covered in thick sheets of ice，and underneath that ice sit oceans of liquid water.NASA has missions planned to investigate those mysterious worlds，hunting for any signs of possible life hidden deep within.
   As for us humans，Mars is certainly the grand prize in the coming decades.If we have the adequate drive and funds，we can establish a semi-permanent presence on the red planet，keeping crews working and studying in person on the Martian surface.The other planets of our solar system are not so suitable for people to settle on.Mercury is too close to the Sun for comfort and too far away from the Earth.
   Over the coming decades，humans expect to see a rise of "space hotels"，set up for visiting tourists and scientific explorations.Naturally，turning the space rock into a habitat for humans is not very practical considering our current level of technological maturity，but in my best estimation，it's the next easiest thing to accomplish after the Moon and Mars，of course.

1．Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
   Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers，for food，for sport，and simply because they were in the way.Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.Hundreds more are on the danger list today.About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
