Alrighty, then! Let's just strap about 37 JATO bottles to the rig, point it towards Mars, and GO!

Uh, 'course, don't try atmospheric breaking or orbital gravity slingshot swings around planets--might cause some internal discombobulation, like a PikUp Stix bundle being tossed against a wall, thus flying apart in a most undecorous manner...

The ISS is not sheilded enough protect it from interplanetary solar radiation and cosmic rays for such a long journey to Mars and back. The author seems to forget that the ISS orbits earth well within the protection of the earths magnetic field
