Default Re: Steampunk Mars/ Cold War crossover

What if NASA did a mission like envisioned in Baxter's "Voyage" but powered by NERVA? That would give us a pretty good look at Venus on the way towards Mars.

Given how long it would take to get a 'modern' presence on Mars; yes the natives may be able to wipe out the humans there. I don't want that so I might have the 'modern' Earth be an alternate as well.

Perhaps I'll use Red Rocket's Glare by J. Edward Tremlett (Pyramid 3/20, June '10.). That setting would go well with an alternate "Red Storm Rising" as well.
