Question

improving conditions for the aviation industry
conducting experiments on animals in zero gravity
sending humans to Mars
creating a new vehicle to carry people to and from the space station

Answer 1

The phrases that describe NASA’s goals in the coming years include:

• improving conditions for the aviation industry
• sending humans to Mars
• creating a new vehicle to carry people to and from the space station

The options "conducting experiments on animals in zero gravity" and "ignoring opportunities to research Earth to focus efforts in outer space" do not accurately reflect NASA’s broader goals. While animal experiments may occur as part of some scientific missions, it's not a primary goal. Additionally, NASA continues to emphasize the importance of Earth science alongside its outer space endeavors.
