I was reading this

And one particular part really made me kinda happy :lol:
"With the exploration emphasis also focused on interim missions to near Earth objects (NEO), the study includes options for one-year round trips to specific asteroids. ”Because the NTR operational lifetime at full thrust and temperature is around 6 hr., multiple missions to various destinations (other NEOs, Moon, Mars) are possible,” the study finds"
Maybe we should invest in a large Deep space transport and exploration vehicle. Use bigelow moduals and other such components. As the technology matures we could eventually have the ability to send a expadition like was originaly wanted by Vonbraun.
