摘要

During the week of April 18, the executive-branch-chartered Science and Technology Policy Institute (STPI) issued a review, which concluded that NASA's plan to send humans to Mars by 2033 is not feasible. While I would love to dispute this report, it actually understates the problem. If one accepts as necessary, as STPI was instructed to do, NASA's "Exploration Campaign"-including the decades-in-development Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion capsule as well as its proposed lunar orbit Gateway station and Deep Space Transport interplanetary spaceship-there is no way NASA would be able to conduct even a Mars orbital mission, let alone a landing, by 2033, or 2063 for that matter. Indeed, it is questionable whether any agency so irrational as to embrace NASA's current excessively complex Mars mission plan would ever be able to send humans to Mars at all. Neither the Gateway nor Orion is useful for a Mars mission, as the Gateway is quite useless for anything (it is not needed to go to the Moon either), and Orion is seriously overweight compared to available alternatives such as SpaceX's Dragon (26 tons versus 10 tons). The SLS, while offering some new capability, is overpriced compared to the already operational SpaceX Falcon Heavy and inferior in all metrics to the SpaceX Starship now under development.
