I hope they remembered the brakes 
Two of the defining characteristics of a carebear are wanting other players to play the way the carebear wants and whining on the forums for the game to change when they don't. Yet I see more threads on these forums from gankers than I do miners whining about wanting the game changed to suit them. |

The largest issue with putting humans on mars, then bringing them back, is not the travel between Earth and Mars. It is getting the people back off of Mars back into space.
The moon has 16% the gravity of Earth (2.4km/sec escape velocity) and virtually no atmosphere, so it took relatively little thrust to lift the lander module back into orbit.
Mars has 38% earth's gravity (5km/sec escape velocity), and it does have an atmosphere (even if minuscule when compared to Earth).
Unless we can figure out how to land, fuel, and launch a pretty significant rocket ship from Mars, then anyone that goes is going to have a heck-a time getting back off of Mars.

NASA Guy wrote:Several low-mass, magnetically-driven metal liners are inductively driven to converge radially and axially and form a thick blanket surrounding the target plasmoid and compress the plasmoid to fusion conditions. Virtually all of the radiant, neutron and particle energy from the plasma is absorbed by the encapsulating, metal blanket thereby isolating the spacecraft from the fusion process and eliminating the need for large radiator mass. This energy, in addition to the intense Ohmic heating at peak magnetic field compression, is adequate to vaporize and ionize the metal blanket.
can someone explain this part me? i need to work on my space nerd-fu.

i don't follow. if we've mastered getting stuff off earth, which has higher gravity that mars, what's the problem with getting stuff off mars? |

It means they squeeze the rocket fuel in a vice until a nuclear reaction occurs and the whole apparatus just pumps out energy. |

Ok let me simplify this concept for you. Earth. Small ship from Earth rendezvous with big ship in orbit. Big ship go boom boom to Mar. Mars. Small ship undocks. Small ship lands on Mars. Astronauts do stuff. Small ship launches from Mars. Small ship rendezvous with big ship. Big ship go boom boom back to Earth.
We've done this before, about 40yrs ago. Assuming same weight for the M.E.M. as the L.E.M. then they only need to provide slightly more than 22% more thrust to overcome the additional gravity + aerodynamic drag. Chances are, though, the M.E.M. would need to be significantly more robust. But then, they could use aerodynamic forces to their advantage lifting off the surface. A runway would not necessarily be required utilizing VTOL in the low gravity environment. With the advances in computer controlled flight, VTOL in low gravity is trivial. HTFU!...for the children! |

Don't know why you're quoting escape velocities, us humans design craft that know how to accelerate.
Also, colonies.

Should be fun if the ship is unfortunate to enough do a 'Challenger' shortly after take-off. This is not a signature. |
