By the time Mars mission designs will be seriously considered again, skinsuits will either be a proven technology or in the dustbin.<br /><br />I'd like to say the same for MiniMags, but I don't know what they'd need for medium-term testing. Would a secondary GLXP payload in lunar orbit be enough?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05463726204720953677noreply@blogger.com
