----- original body/abstract -----

from the Martian surface with ease. The point is that the
technology for getting off Mars with a rocket is well in
hand, the engines, fuels, and structures we have today are
much more than up to the job, the trick is getting the
vehicles and all the fuel where you need it.

The 'Mars Direct' plan as advocated by Robert Zubrin calls for staging
and testing the return vehicles in advance of sending the manned
vehicles to Mars and also for the production of rocket fuel from CO2
on Mars itself with a small starter batch of hydrogen, as demonstrated
in his experiments here on earth. A lot of details are described in
his books and on the Mars Society web pages.
