What is Mars Direct?
Mars Direct is a plan for achieving human expeditions to Mars utilizing existing or near-term technology. The idea stresses pragmatism by emloying a live-off-the-land philosophy and has the potential to achieve a human expedition to Mars within the next decade at a fraction of previous cost estimates. Please refer to the Mars Direct web site for detailed information.
