Interesting, but thats gonna take a long time in such a tiny spacecraft. Not to mention it might be hard to protect from any radiation bursts.

I wish they would pick up development of the Nerva again and get an actual nuclear rocket into orbit. Would be good to get going with these if they really plan to build a moon base.
