Rocket

Rocket is a Infrastructure building in Surviving Mars.

Description
Delivers cargo or colonists to Mars. Commands nearby drones. Contaminates nearby buildings with dust during landing and launching. Requires for return trips.

They are re-usable, and once having refueled on Mars, can bring Rare Metals back to Earth for monetary gains.

Space rockets have far a greater role to play in the mission of establishing a permanent colony on Mars, than merely bringing the first colonists there. Until the colony can truly sustain itself, it will always be dependent on Earth for vital resources and the flow of colonists.

Although quite expensive, re-usable rocket technology has already been mastered to a degree that can have a rocket back in space within the same day of landing on either world.

Dust
Rockets produce large amounts of dust when they take off and land, so they shouldn't land near your solar panels or other structures vulnerable to dust contamination.

Unloading
RC Rovers are ideal for unloading cargo rockets, as they can do so much more efficiently than drones. Using the supply chain option, a rover can be set to load all cargo types and then unload in the general area of your supply depots--it is not necessary to select a specific depot, clicking on the ground near them will make the rover use all of the available depots.
