Ahem… GeoJump with first of kind lunar gravity assist design for GEO? I did that as an undergrad in 1999 🤣 Jah, M.K., Potterveld, C., Rustick, J., Madler, R. (1999).

I read about this last night, very interesting. I think the plan has always been to make a LEP prop depo. Otherwise they'd have to make 12-13 trips to refill via tanker in orbit. It's just a question of when it will get done. Likely not before a Mars mission and definitely not before a moon mission. Very curious to see how they go about it
