Robert Zubrin
Robert Zubrinis an American aerospace engineer and author, best known for his advocacy of the manned exploration of Mars. He and his colleague at Martin Marietta, David Baker, were the driving force behind Mars Direct, a proposal intended to produce significant reductions in the cost and complexity of such a mission. The key idea was to use the Martian atmosphere to produce oxygen, water, and rocket propellant for the surface stay and return journey. A modified version of the plan...
artificial mission nasa people science send study
It's an important science study that has not been done by a NASA center. Before we can send people on a mission with artificial gravity, it's important to find out the effects,
inferior mars mission mode per program
They have an inferior lunar mission mode per sebut if they make the heavy-lift vehicle, they make everything we need them to make. That's the most important thing the lunar program can give the Mars program.

The thing that makes this a winner is 1) there is a negligible cost difference to making flex fuel vehicle, 2) such cars can use existing gasoline.

Looked at this way, we can then pose the question of the future of humanity on Earth, in the solar system, and in the galaxy from the standpoint of both evolutionary biology and human nature. The conclusion is straightforward: Our choice is to grow, branch, spread and develop, or stagnate and die.
betrayal responsibility community
I would say that failure to terraform Mars constitutes failure to live up to our human nature and a betrayal of our responsibility as members of the community of life itself
