The idea of sending humans to Mars has been the subject of aerospace engineering and scientific studies since the late 1940s as part of the broader exploration of Mars. [1] Long-term proposals have included sending settlers and terraforming the planet.
Elon Musk set out SpaceX's timeline for getting humanity to Mars this week. He said SpaceX plans to send five Starship rockets to Mars in 2026, with crewed missions following two to four years later.
Mars Direct is a proposal for a human mission to Mars which purports to be both cost-effective and possible with current technology. It was originally detailed in a research paper by Martin Marietta engineers Robert Zubrin and David Baker in 1990, and later expanded upon in Zubrin's 1996 book The Case for Mars .
SpaceX Mars colonization program (colloquially also referred to as Occupy Mars) [1] is a planned objective of the company SpaceX and particularly of its founder Elon Musk to colonize Mars.

It wouldn't be great for sending humans to Mars, but it could make sending future rovers much more affordable for NASA and other agency. But a couple of mathematicians have figured out how to ...
Artist's conception of a human mission on the surface of Mars. 1989 painting by Les Bossinas of NASA's Lewis Research Center. A Space Launch System design in the 2010s. This rocket is envisioned as the launch vehicle for some of the latest NASA speculative long-term plans for Mars concepts, although there are some bold private venture plans that may also provide mass-to-orbit for any mission ...
SpaceX's Polaris Dawn crew has returned to Earth. Elon Musk's dreams of building a city on Mars got a major boost from the Polaris Dawn mission.. They tested spacesuits, radiation exposure, and ...
