Proposal: Command One

[tsofian]

I never liked the Mars One and really didn't like the Science One vehicle, but did like the idea and the mission. A mobile Command Post also makes sense.

I use this vehicle as the basis

There is a lot of great footage of this machine. there was also a tracked contender

Or this is a bit less unweildy

Those missile launch vehicles are the exact opposite of all terrain. They are only intended to operate on prepared surfaces on a controlled area of land deep inside protected territory, and need just enough mobility and stealth to thwart precise targeting from long range.

I hate MARS 1, like Science 1, and think Command 1 is an excellent idea, but they need to be smaller and more rugged to be practical.

According to the blueprints, the trailer is much higher than the tractor. But we do need to keep any trailer short in length for cross-country driving.....going to have to run some numbers!
