You, a student at the Mars Academy, have a mission: demonstrate the feasibility of sending humans to Mars, and returning them safely home. At this excellent site, there are many problems for you to study and solve, like designing life support systems, selecting a means of propulsion, dealing with effects of long term space travel, and calculating trajectories. Transcripts of web chats with NASA scientists provide insight into special considerations.
