Saw the item in ANS about the proposed Mars flyby by the Inspirational Mars Foundation in 2018.
Although lots of sites are implying there will be a human onboard the Inspirational Mars Foundation press release does not actually state that: http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=40141 You'd have thought a small automatic uncrewed spacecraft would be a better bet for a flyby and return given the timescale. Guess we'll find out at the press conference on Wednesday afternoon. 73 Trevor M5AKA _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
