Moon maybe...

Hi LJK

A moonbase maybe, or at least a storage depot for long-duration missions. I'm really not sure a NERVA-style Mars architecture would've been sustainable. The NERVA nuclear shuttles were good for Earth-Moon traffic, but really marginal for Mars missions.

We might've made it to Mars by now or else those gigabucks might've been wasted on building the 100-man LEO Space Base that no one could find a worthwhile use for...
