Re: Mars One Way Vs. ISS
Yes, this is my point.
We cannot send permanent settlers to Mars until pathfinders find the ground with good water deposits, etc. . .
MarsDirect is ideal for sending four frogmen to take samples and scout future landing zones. And deploy radio homing beacons for future landings, etc. . . etc. . . etc. . .
Why can't we just send robots to do the same thing?
We can pinpoint water from orbit. We can set up GPS from orbit, and land "beacons" without a single human foot setting down.
