What comes next: the Moon, Mars and beyond, sentence 1

Much of what comes next is plans, not facts yet: space missions are hugely hard and costly, and their dates very often slip, like a building project that always finishes late.

Who acts: Much, space missions, dates, building project · What happens: come, be, slip, finish · To what, where: plans
