This discussion will be for brainstorming and finalizing ground expeditions while on the surface of Mars.
Here are my ideas:
1) We will need surface exploration for the location and mining of minerals for earth return (to pay for the project) and fuel for the ships and bases and water for the bases.
2) Ground and air (baloon, uav, and DG) expeditions for the collection of scientific data. We will also need to figure a way to collect that data within the confines of orbiter.
3) Ground expeditions purely for their historic significance (the summit of Olympus mons, the bottom of Valles Marinaris etc...)
4) Location of as many mars landers as we can, for the purposes of assessing their condition and possible preservation. We could conceivably collect and return Sojourner and enshrine Viking 1 (glass dome and memorial plaque).
