"This sort of landing is unlike anything anyone has ever tried before."
Uh, no. No no. That's how we land literally everything on Mars these days, and SpaceX's Falcon rockets have become quite proficient in this as well. -

The martian atmosphere is 100 times thinner than Earth's, not 1000.

they will not be making the trip in the Dragon capsule the Dragon capsule is about the size of the minivan the Dragon capsule can be used to land people on Mars but they will not be used to be transporting them all that way

Fairy tail.

Man you two sound like Nurd lovers

It is not unlike anything anyone has ever done before. It's like the Apollo Lunar Module. Okay, maybe it's more like a cross between the Apollo command module and the Lunar module, as it can both survive entry, descent, and landing on earth, as well as propulsively land on Mars, in a similar fashion to how the LM landed on the moon.
