Correct if I am wrong in 'A'

Earth again venture to Mars - sounds incorrect.

A. Same as in sentence
B. venture to Mars again, a planet now known for being
C. will venture to Mars again, a planet now known as being
D. venture again to Mars, a planet that is known now to be
E. will again venture to Mars, a planet known now as being

E IMO.
I am pretty sleepy so please forgive anything silly in my post.
Ok. So I removed A, B and D because of sub-verb agreement. With "spacecraft", we should have "ventures". Out of C and E, I chose E because Mars is kept near to ", a planet...".
I didn't use any high funda logic for this SC. May be I am wrong
