Can't TfL just employ a few Nasa engineers? It's not exactly rocket science...

£2.6 billion sounds like a bargain actually, when you compare it to the £15 billion cost of Crossrail (a project that was first proposed in 1974 and will open in 2018!).
Anyway, this is yet another robotic mission to Mars. I believe that the cost for a manned mission range from $30 billion to $450 billion!
