The Mars Project

"The Mars Project" is a plan developed by physicist Wernher von Braun in the 1940s outlining how humans could travel to and land on Mars. It details designing spacecraft, life support systems, and mission logistics needed for a crew to reach Mars, survive, and return safely to Earth. The plan emphasizes the use of rockets, spacecraft configurations, and fuel considerations to make such an expedition feasible with the technology of that time. While theoretical, it laid important groundwork for future discussions on human space exploration to the Red Planet.
