Why not then make multiple cyclers going both ways like trains. Then you can have regular train lije schedule to hop on a ride to mars and other planets.
Wouldnt 200 tons still means you need to send 2 rockets and assemble in space? I cant even fathom what kind of whackjobian contraption needed to send 1000tons into LEO in one go..
Shouldnt they be focusing more on assembling rockets in space? I mean can you fit Mars delivery, command module, living area, orbitter, lander, and return vehicle in one 130 ton payload? This is of course assuming a return mission.
Somebody should just make a study to the Senate that says a sending people to Mars To Stay would make x million jobs in x number of states. Then, maybe we'll get somewhere
