I think we should go back to the Moon and use it as a testing ground for the equipment that we'll need on Mars.
After properly working out the issues from that same equipment, then go on to Mars.
Can't agree with the choices given. I think we should go back to the Moon and use it as a testing ground for the equipment that we'll need on Mars. After properly working out the issues from that same equipment, then go on to Mars.
The problem with that idea, is that the stuff you need to go to the Moon is nearly all different from the stuff you need to go to Mars.

Actually the stuff you need to go to Mars is exactly the same stuff you need to go to the Moon. Competent people, well funded organizations, healthy industrial base. Oh, and leadership. Heaps and buckets of it.
Depends if we can drop the silly "been there done that" mentality...

We have found places there that have not seen sunlight in billions of years. We have not done a close up investigation of these very unusual places.
