If you assume each one starts with IDENTICAL equipment -- and that
the equipment in both cases is optimized for the Moon -- then hell
yeah, the Mars group is screwed.

If you assume they each start out with optimal equipment for the
mission in question, they should be roughly equal.

What if you assume that they each started out with identical budgets?
