Mars Mission Sequence of Events

[EVA_Reentry]

So, I made a Sequence of Events for a mars mission. Please check over and find my mistakes.

Based on these images:

Have fun!

So, first they had installed LLL mod (those flat octagons).

Next they use SSTU mod to make those flying things and Kerbal Foundries (yet not in 1.1.x) to make the bulldoser.

Looks like an awful lot of launches.

I'm not sure how you plan to launch 7 rockets in a week from the same launch pad. That's a lot of rockets to process at the same time.

It also looks like there is an awful lot of orbital assembly work going on. Again, I don't see how you can do all that in the course of a few days, or what sort of vehicle delivers stuff like solar panels on a Soyuz U.

The Soviets had two launches on the same pad within 24 hours... Could be done with a lot of investment.

Yes, but that's only two rockets. There simply aren't enough assembly buildings to be processing 3 Delta IVs at VAFB simultaneously, as well as 2 Delta Heavies and 3 Atlas Vs at the Cape. 

Also, I really don't understand the mission profile. It doesn't seem to include any actual spacecraft or lander. Three "Food" launches sounds a bit wasteful. How do you get that food onto the Martian surface? And why send 2 different spacecraft? How do you get stuff like a Garage, a greenhouse or a wind farm to Mars and to the surface in a single Delta IV launch? What do you do with a "Middle liquid fuel tank" once it's floating around in orbit? Why does a CST-100 launch unmanned? What does the Orion Spacecraft Docking Module dock to? What's with all the gliders? And where is SLS when you need it?

It really doesn't make much sense at all.

This is immensely detailed, but i don't get what it is. Is it a conceptual plan? Also, why no SLS or Angara? What exactly is it?

What is this?

[Nibb31]

Obviously nothing to be concerned about. Why are you reviving it ?

[Emperor of the Titan Squid]

Because I'm curious.
