Re: 1950's Mars programs

Amazing. You're claiming von Braun proposed no in-situ use of oxygen or water which he imagined Mars to have. Yeah, right, punk.

Also, in von Brauns' second scheme the rocket itself was nuclear powered, just as at least one of Zubrin's designs was. Afraid of alienating the anti-nuke folks by mentioning this?

You do not need to spend my money to send men to Mars to find out whether it has water or not. This can be accomplished at far less cost with robots.
