32 years in the making, trip to Mars 39 days according to Astronaut Chang-Diaz.

The only reason why i look forward to VASIMR is that a trip to the moon with it would be over in a matter of minutes/seconds (too lazy to count) AND a lot cheaper.

This would be a perfect opportunity to set up that moobase you always wanted, NASA.

Unlikely since the current plan is to use Argon as the fuel.  Hydrogen is hard to keep liquid on long journeys.

Is the VF-200 going to be fueled with excess H2 from the ISS?
