Mongoose Traveller is a very different system from GURPS Traveller, but seems to me to be a re-balanced and slightly modernized reboot of Classic Traveller, e.g. with random character creation, 4-year career units, and so forth. Just apparently trying to avoid any skewing there might be in Classic, in terms of favouring military careers and giving short shrift to non-military ones.

If forced to choose I wouldn't hesitate to be a player in a Mongoose Traveller campaign rather than a Classic Traveller campaign. But while I find the lifepath concept interesting, I really prefer choice-based and point-based character creation.
