The story of King Midas is a well-known tale originating in Greek mythology. Dionysus promised to grant him one wish, and Midas wished that everything he touched turned to gold. When he eventually turned his food and his daughter into gold, he begged Dionysus to reverse this gift. Midas washed away his golden touch in the river Pactolus, and Midas was reunited with his daughter and shared his wealth with his kingdom. We chose this name for our team as a symbol of our cautious ambition in exploring the Red Planet. We believe that our efforts to design a system to send a manned mission to Mars will be rewarded, but we plan to use our resources efficiently and not allow greed or pride to hinder our efforts. We wish to extend our golden touch to Mars and turn the competition facilitated by AIAA into a golden opportunity to further the reach of humanity in outer space.
