Scientific paper

This abstract describes a proposal to start building a Mars Transportation Infrastructure, MTI, starting in earth orbit. The first facility at Mars should be the Manned Mars Orbiting Station, MMOS. Sending a human mission to land on Mars, and to return a couple of years later accomplishes little, is wasteful of resources, creates nothing of lasting value, is horribly expensive, and is not necessary in the near future. The superior plan is to build permanent facilities. The first manned facility at Mars should be in orbit, not on the surface. Mars should be observed for a period of time from medium Mars orbit by human beings in a permanent orbiting base, MMOS, while the complete MTI is being built.
