Building a subterranean base isn't so easy, especially when a tin can full of goodies will do the trick just as well. But other than digging a whole, thats the general gist of mars direct. Send two unmanned vehicles, a hab and a backup. Then start sending more hab modules that are actually crewed and link them to form a permanent facility. Constant resupply and tons of redundancy. It's just about the -definition- of a government project. Costs enough for senators and reps to make their buddies rich too, but not enough to make checks bounce. What's the holdup, lol?
