I'll add a question. You land on Mars and put astronauts there. How do they get off of Mars? Do they erect a launch pad on Mars somehow?
I know how we did it during the Apollo years but I'm sure Mars has more gravity than the moon.

Am I the only one that thinks that landing a man on Mars is perhaps the dumbest idea man has come up with? Especially since we already know without a doubt that it's uninhabitable? Landing on the moon was different with it being....well; our moon.
I love our space program and at one time it kicked arse. I just think this project is a huge waste of money.

Mars has 38% of the gravity of Earth. The first Mars mission will be an orbital mission (i.e. no landing, similar to our Moon missions). Any landing mission like Mars One will be a one-way trip. It would be too difficult to launch enough fuel into space from Earth for the trip there, touchdown, return to orbit, and trip home. With that being said, over 78,000 people signed up for a one way trip to Mars via Mars One, so there is no shortage of volunteers

How sure are you?
