Mars Exploration is a long-term endeavor, spanning many presidencies, over 15 Congresses. It needs frequent self-renewing milestones and annually affordable budgets, sustained by a widely shared vision of a human future on Mars. However, there is currently no well-defined transition, which can be visualized, from the planned robotic program to an anticipated, but not yet authorized, program, to achieve the first human presence. The robotic and human programs can be joined physically and geographically through the establishment of one or more Mars Outposts, robotic research sites that become certified and equipped landing sites for subsequent crewed flights. The implementation of such Outposts linking human and robotic exploration would provide major and affordable milestones on the popular road to Mars. It could increase NASA's confidence and innovation in Mars exploration.
