Not really all that impressed to be honest, using rocket technology from 20 years ago and the whole system looks like apollo. Not much inventiveness in this idea. Did NASA take an IQ downer. Quite frankly I would have thought that some new ideas would have surfaced, like building a ship in space with artificial gravity and nuclear engines. The technology exists now and some of the newest notions would could be tried out. The apollo program vehicles nearly ended the lives of 3 astronauts on Apollo 13 and were not that safety orientated. The launch vehicle could be something like what is proposed although I think that the a controlled descent vehicle would be better.
Anyway I guess I should shut and say, wow that is great; glad to see it happen. Still......
