As for Mars

REB — 10/14/2005 1:22:19 PM (archived)

I can understand your concern about a six month trip inside a small capsule.

To go to Mars, they could use several of those heavy lift rockets to launch several modules into orbit. In orbit they could combine them into one ship for the trip to Mars.

        Calling all Engineers. Is the Space 1999 Eagle a workable design? - REB - 10/15/2005 4:15:03 PM
        
        Some real world modifications would be needed, but it is a very workable design. - Lee - 10/15/2005 6:41:55 PM
