Mars to Stay
Mars to Stay missions propose astronauts sent to Mars for the first time should intend to stay. Unused emergency return vehicles would be recycled into settlement construction as soon as the habitability of Mars becomes evident to the initial pioneers. Mars to Stay missions are advocated both to reduce cost and to ensure permanent settlement of Mars. Among many notable Mars to Stay advocates, former Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin has been particularly outspoken, suggesting in numerous forums ""Forget the Moon, Let’s Head to Mars!"" and, in June 2013, Aldrin promoted a manned mission ""to homestead Mars and become a two-planet species."" In August 2015, Aldrin, in association with the Florida Institute of Technology, presented a ""master plan"", for NASA consideration, for astronauts, with a ""tour of duty of ten years"", to colonize Mars before the year 2040. The Mars Underground, Mars Homestead Foundation, Mars One, and Mars Artists Community advocacy groups and business organizations have also adopted Mars to Stay policy initiatives.The earliest formal outline of a Mars to Stay mission architecture was given at the Case for Mars VI Workshop in 1996, during a presentation by George Herbert titled ""One Way to Mars.""
