GENERIC SPACE PLATFORM

Sierra Nevada's Dream Chaser spacecraft 

Gee.

I so wish I could draw.

This pic is the closest I can find for now.

Idea.

GENERIC SPACE PLATFORM.

Start with a small generic (standard) space platform.

Will be deployed as the FIRST thing over ALL of our heavenly bodies we wish to deal with.

Maybe more than one platform per planet / moon.

That should be at least:

1. EARTH
2. MOON (EARTHS)
3. VENUS
4. MARS
5. MOONS OF NOTE / CHOICE

Platform will accommodate people and spacecraft.

Be dynamically remotely upgradeable.

Modules will be able to attach/detach themselves.

Idea is for ongoing growing/changing.

Each platform will be able to accommodate spacecraft that are designed to:

1. GO BETWEEN SPACE PLATFORM AND PLANET / MOON BELOW
2. GO BETWEEN SPACE PLATFORMS

Spacecraft should be designed to go between planet surface and space platform, and other spacecraft that only moves in space between space platforms.

Some spacecraft would stay in space ALL THE TIME, moving between space platforms.

Upgrades to space platforms or other planet surface stuff would move:

1. FROM PLANET / MOON SURFACE TO SPACE PLATFORM
2. MOVED BETWEEN SPACE PLATFORMS
3. MOVED DOWN TO TARGET PLANET / MOON SURFACE

Every little new space gizmo we send up that costs hundreds of millions dollars to do one or two little things is a gross waste of money.

We need be start building a permanent presence in space and on other planets / moons.
