Description

This discussion group is for the advancement of our humans to Mars mission design. Crew safety and keeping costs as low as possible are our main concerns, along with a mission that actually gets implemented in the future. We are also looking for new team members who can help in the many aspects of a complex mission of this sort from launch vehicle specialists to payload designers and more. So if you would like to participate or have any questions please let us know at info@marsdrive.com or visit our website at http://www.marsdrive.com
