The Next 50 Years in Space Group Build.

[seadude]

Actually, the thread title could have been 50, 75, 100 or more years. I wasn't sure what number to put.
Anyway.............how about the following for a possible future Group Build.
It's a great time to get excited again for space. The James Webb space telescope is taking marvelous pictures of the far cosmos. And the US is preparing to launch the Artemis 1 rocket into space to go back to the moon.
So...........what if we had a group build about what space travel and exploration might be like in the next 25-100 years?
What whif designs could people come up with for:
Space telescopes
Satellites
Moon bases
Moon lunar vehicles
Mars surface vehicles
Space stations
............and so much more.

Sounds interesting! Lots to consider.....

Hi,
That sounds like a great idea for a What-If group build

[AeroplaneDriver]

LOVE this idea for next season.

Well just remember to nominate it when the time comes then. Sometime early next year, I'm not looking that far forward yet

Artemis rockets launching a new space station.

Artemis rockets launching a new space station.

Now that is just too far fetched...

I managed to resist

I know, gotta get the first one to work first!

[zenrat]

At least they are back in the Race.  Fingers crossed...

Even Apollo had the Saturn 1B before the Saturn 5. They're putting all their eggs in one basket with Artemis.

Artemis is the program name not the launch vehicle.  Artemis=Apollo and SLS (Space Launch System)=Saturn.  It has different block numbers.  Artemis I will use Block I.  By Artemis IV they will be using Block 1B, and eventually Block 2. 

Nothing this ambitious goes off without a hitch.  I'd rather see Artemis I go back to the VAB to fix a leak than see three dead astronauts as Apollo I ended with.

I was 15 then and can still remember it

I have some plastic packaging I've long planned to make into a Moon or Mars base.  I'm for this!

The real reason Artemis went back to the VAB:
