20040104180407-23400: Travelling to Mars
Robomod had the following to say about this post:
- submission from unregistered poster Article key: e0c6c2d504d872bfb5d848957b2cfabd ----- 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. B. Debic. |
