Moon and Mars exploration program design constrained to 1980s to 2010s rocket tech

April 4, 2026Alejandro Alcantarilla Romera (Alex)

Alejandro Alcantarilla Romera proposes a planning exercise to design Moon and Mars programs using only rocket technology available in past decades, emphasizing realistic architecture tradeoffs and development scope.

A fun mental exercise is to try and come up with Moon and Mars exploration programs based on the rocket technology of the 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s
either with what was already available, with available hardware+some development, or a full-on clean sheet development program.
