The Mars Consortium approach is an essay written by Frank Stratford. Frank Stratford is the founder and executive director of MarsDrive. His writing is focused on human space exploration and Mars settlement issues, with a special focus on researching alternative Mars transport solutions.
Frank proposes Government-funded Mars exploration with a private twist that he claims can break even regardless of project success.
Frank claims to "have heard outgoing NASA administrator Mike Griffin speak several times of “international cooperation” for a manned Mars mission, so maybe now it’s time NASA took this thought one step further. Would it conflict with the Constellation program in any way? With NASA in control I am certain they could find ways around this. We could be on the Moon in 2018 and Mars in 2020. They just have to say the word, but after 40 years of inaction on the Mars issue, even if they don’t this is something we can do."

Face On Mars...Scam
15 Years ago I got burned buying the Face On Mars Stamp set. They are still collectors items
and now if the Mars Mission finds life in the ice water...who knows what this collection might be worth.
Q. Tell me about the Face of Mars stamps. Are they really worth several thousand dollars?
No. About ten years ago a promoter and non-APS member Alan Shawn Feinstein touted this set of postage stamps from Sierra Leone. His target market was non-stamp collectors. The philatelic community stayed away and there was much press in the stamp media warning collectors. But his ads were in non-philatelic newspapers and magazines so our warnings never reached those outside the hobby. The asking price was as much as several thousand dollars. The current Scott catalog lists this set (1167-71) with a value of $100 and you can often find them from reputable dealers for even less.
