Scientific paper
In this paper we propose a detailed program plan for the human exploration of the solar system. This thrust is clearly the next step in the long history of human exploration of the unknown. The program proposed here contemplates a return to the Moon by 1995. The principal purpose of the return mission is to look for water that might be used to fuel subsequent missions to Mars and to other planets in the solar system. Alternative program plans are developed in detail for the first trip to the planet Mars in case water is found on the Moon (Case A) and in case it is not found as well (Case B). In both cases, the first trip to Mars would be made in the year 2003. The total run out cost of the proposed program is between $90 billion (Case B) and $125 billion (Case A) for the next fourteen years.
