Global open Internet Policies for a sustainable heliospheric economy
Based on the size they cannot carry enough fuel, let alone oxygen to get to orbit. If you used atomic fuels and use air for reaction mass, that is something else that should work. if you do not generate ions in the process. I think the easier way it to use ground based energy sources and “atomic electric rockets” which are possible.
They did not publish their model in a global open format, so of course no one can check their numbers, assumptions, data, calculations – let alone fuel economics, financial markets, investment scenarios and plans for all parts.
When I worked for Phillips Petroleum I learned a valuable lesson about how much a company should be willing to spend to create a sustainable $billion+ project. Same working at FTA, USAID, UN and other groups on country and global scale projects. Do the numbers, make the model and plans complete, make it accessible. Use the ideas of the whole human species – not just a few inadequate insiders.
Now I would add — give the whole of things to a recursive set of independently operated AIs to review, critique and continuously improve. I was listening to the problems the US (and other) military organizations face with a sloppy, non-integrated, not open supply chain. Too many closed and greedy groups who beggar themselves when a Billion $Trillion space faring human species is at stake.

This is a capable person, but this project it a waste of his skills. He ought to be building and creating new systems that are NOT closed and impossible to upgrade, repair, integrate and use in global open projects. I first used Apple in 1979 and feel they have never once considered the needs of the human species over the wants of a few of their insiders. If you live on Moon and need parts, you do NOT want to be tied to proprietary supply chains of any sort. When your life depends on systems they have to be field upgrade-able, open and something that can be changed wearing vacuum proof gloves, No tiny many sized screws, glues, eclectic connectors and assemblies. It is a processor with memory and communications. Not a Russian nesting doll or puzzle. Tools not toys, essential functions not Byzantine rules taxes fees and barriers.
