Because you seem to know a lot, but not all of the info in "Case For Mars". Do you have a copy or just read it once? I've only read it once, but have referred back to my copy on specific issues during debates here several times. I've read the basic details of the plan many times in several sources and also have copies of NASA's reference missions.

Regards,
Mark
