[9] [10] This would be a 34-month trip. Shorter Mars mission plans have round-trip flight times of 400 to 450 days, [11] or under 15 months, but would require significantly higher energy. A fast Mars mission of 245 days (8.0 months) round trip could be possible with on-orbit staging. [12]
The mission was intended to be primarily a one-way trip to Mars. Astronaut applications were invited from the public all over the world, for a fee. The initial concept included an orbiter and small robotic lander in 2018, followed by a rover in 2020, and the base components in 2024. [127] The first crew of four astronauts was to land on Mars in ...
Crewed Mars rovers (also called manned Mars rovers [2]) are Mars rovers for transporting people on the planet Mars, and have been conceptualized as part of human missions to that planet. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Two types of crewed Mars rovers are unpressurized for a crew in Mars space suits, and pressurized for the crew to work without a space suit.

Space activist Bruce Mackenzie, for example, proposed a one-way trip to Mars in a presentation "One Way to Mars – a Permanent Settlement on the First Mission" at the 1998 International Space Development Conference, [6] arguing that since the mission could be done with less difficulty and expense if the astronauts were not required to return ...
A spacecraft traveling from Earth to Mars via this method will arrive near Mars orbit in approximately 8.5 months, but because the orbital velocity is greater when closer to the center of mass (i.e. the Sun) and slower when farther from the center, the spacecraft will be traveling quite slowly and a small application of thrust is all that is ...
