If you say that, you don't understand much about how such missions actually
work. Particularly the orbital mechanics of getting from here to there and
back.

we had more than
enough time to plan for it, and we had the inertia to get there.


Easy to say if you don't have to actually do it.


How many times did you do it? :-)


Tell us how big a manned Mars mission ship would have to be in order to get to
Mars and back, carrying all the supplies, spares and equipment needed. Or give
us an alternative scenario, such as sending supply ships on ahead to Martian
orbit - *with details*. Tell us how long the trip would be, and what the
relative planetary positions would be at the start, Martian landing, and
return.

Tell us how those who land on Mars would deal with the cold, wind, and dust.


Use morse? :-)

Most of all tell us what it would all cost, and what we would do that could

not
be done by robots.


I'm curious as to how the "Buro" would handle those interplanetary QSLs!

:-)

Gee...it's so nice with this private little chat room for extra morsemen
and finding out How The Space Boys Do It! So interesting hearing from
the mighty space biz insiders...nothing dull and uninformative like ham
radio policy and hearing how morse is the ultimate mode for all space
communications, getting through when nothing else willlllll......

You guys have wayyyyyyy too much imagination or have a very good
stash of high-grade powder...
