On Mars there area unit cheaper ways in which to raise a scientist friends don't believe you
Currently the space people can not Tyrant is an astronaut, go to Mars that cost even more astronomical, and if we can save the cost point, I believe that is the local tyrant who loved company and rocket it.
Francesco Topputo and mathematician Edward Belbruno on Mars recently came up with a cheaper new tactics, that is the use of ballistic capture technology (Ballistic Capture). This is not just a concept, Japan and NASA have already adopted this approach earlier for space exploration, but was the first time on Mars.
Compared to the high-energy Hohmann transfer orbit method, ballistic capture just one class spacecraft into any orbit of Mars, the spacecraft in orbit at low speed, until Mars "catch" can transition of Mars. Under this method can save a lot of fuel for deceleration, reducing the cost and weight of the spacecraft landing itself.
However, this method is not without drawbacks, Hohmann transfer orbit method only six months will be able to reach Mars, the new method also spend a few months time job. If manned, then the extra time to have another few months to prepare supplies.
