WikiProject Spacecraft is intended to bring together information and standardize specs regarding all types of Spacecraft: Launch Vehicles, Manned Spacecraft, Unmanned Spacecraft, and others. It will be broken down as much as needed to present a coherent collection of different types of spacecraft that have been and are still in use.

=Proposal

When NASA has build de Ares V rocket (CaLV), then it would has the possibility of send a spacecraft with Nuclear Pulse Propulsion (Medusa shaped) above the magnetosphere facing the Sun. One rocket can lift a 130 tons Medusa to LEO and another rocket send it to a High elliptical orbit. This spacecraft could reach the moon faster than projected Orion spacecraft. It could descend in the moon with a larger payload, making feasible the exploration and mining. It could return the Earth and landing using an aerobraking shield and small chemical engines. Medusa could move a large payload of minerals from Moon to Earth. Also This spacecraft could achive the long dreamed manned trip to Mars in a shorter time that current probes.
