Boeing to mars?

Replace SLS with FH and it looks like they've been reading my blog. Bigelow modules and ion drives to return the vehicle to earth (they've got them prepositioning the vehicle at EML1) have been discussed not just here but on my previous blogs (one paid for and now gone forever.)

They're describing construction of the I.S.S. as an example for constructing their Mars Transfer Vehicle (M.T.V.) which I call a General Purpose Spaceship (it's just a matter of delta-V and provisions.) Funny how my GPS and their MTV both have more popular uses for those TLAs. But I cringe at the thought of I.S.S. being a construction example.

More from my blog, they would “teleoperate Mars surface assets in real time.”
