NASA Lunar Gateway Repurposed for Mars Mission

From Battlecruisers to Space Tug: Saving NASA’s Lunar Gateway

By The Mars Blueprint

If the Artemis program is cut, NASA’s Lunar Gateway station should be repurposed into a deep space transport “Space Tug” to shorten Mars missions. With political support shifting towards Mars exploration, this strategy utilizes the investment already made in Gateway while enhancing the possibility of future Mars mission success.

The case for NASA’s Nuclear Mars Space Tug

NASA Nuclear Space Tug: A Game Changer for Mars Missions

By The Mars Blueprint

A proposed Nuclear Space Tug for NASA would revolutionize Mars missions by significantly reducing transit times from 200-300 days to under 100. By employing nuclear propulsion, it lowers astronaut health risks associated with deep space, minimizes consumable requirements, and facilitates safer transport of crew and supplies. This initiative encourages private sector involvement in developing spacecraft for deep space exploration.
