- •
We assess the lifecycle costs of life support and ISRU for the Mars One program.
- •
Mars One plans to colonize Mars with one-way trips using existing technology.
- •
Limitations in existing technology mean that one-way trips need continual resupply.
- •
A growing colony incurs growing resupply needs and hence growing programmatic costs.
- •
Growing costs make the Mars One mission plan, as publicly described, infeasible.
