Best addon for near-future manned mars mission?

[Clavius0712]

Hi all,

It's been ages since I played "Orditer" so I'm wondering what's currently in your opinion the best Earth-Mars near future manned mission addon? I'm thinking something that is a bit like AMSO was for the Apollo missions - but instead for near-future manned missions to Mars.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Also, the Mars section of the [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1932"]World of 2001 v3.11[/ame] is pretty good.

My personal favourites are the Cargo\"Flinger" missions.

I use the afore mentioned DRM 1.4 along with Glider's [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5442"]SpaceX launch vehicles and Dragon[/ame] for pretty much all my "modern to near future missions"

I love that documentary, I think I may just watch it again tonight!

I just watched "The Mars Underground". Amazing and inspiring film! I particularly liked the bit when Zubrin said sending smokers to Mars without their tobacco would actually reduce their risk of cancer. As a smoker myself I find that quite amusing and it also shows what BS is talked about the risks of human space travel. If we cared that much about humans we would treat them better here on Earth than we currently do, so no-one should start recoiling with horror about the dangers of cosmic rays and solar flares when these things can be mitigated against and are in any case often exaggerated risks.

I will try The Mars Reference Mission addon tomorrow.

Thanks guys!
