Kerbal Space Program - Ares: Voyage to Mars - RSS

A Mars mission which could have been. In 1985 a manned Mars expedition is launched atop a Saturn VB, an upgraded version of the Saturn V which launched astronauts to the Moon, with the addition of four solid rocket boosters. The crew join a propulsion stack, already assembled in orbit, and make use of a gravitational slingshot with a flyby of Venus. \r
