When was the last study done budgeting such an interplanetary highway system?
NASA’s budget is currently around 16 billion a year, of which about 1 billion is currently for Constellation development. You think you could build a system of prop depots (and keep them supplied), not to mention developing the technologies and spacecraft required for all this? It would be bigger than Apollo in terms of money and investment. If Congress wants to give NASA this money, fine. Until then, they’re doing a damn good job with the gum & bailing wire they’re given.
