I think its inclusion is significant. However, I wouldn't over-analyze the artwork.
Would any payload be possible to fit into the BEAM while it's still stowed?
Could you put that in equivalent terms to the delta-v numbers in those L&P pages?

Unfortunate that the closest approach would happen over the night side - although in retrospect that should have been obvious given the free return restriction. Makes this proposed mission (even) less compelling.

Interesting about the inflatable, that makes things more plausible from a crew habitability standpoint.We already know BEAM will fit in a Dragon Trunk, so if they used Dragon, then they could in theory deploy BEAM out the back of the Trunk, then flip the Dragon around 180 degrees and dock to the BEAM (obviously BEAM would need a compatible docking port, as the ISS CBM couldn't be used). ...
Where is ChileVerde's post? Clicking on the link goes nowhere... Where is a link to the IEEE paper? I think I have access through my university, but I need to find it first.
I'm on this page: http://www.visualwebcaster.com/event.asp - so hopefully that's where to be.

It has since went public here: http://www.inspirationmars.com/Inspiration%20Mars_Feasibility%20Analysis_IEEE.pdf

They give 5 SOA technologies.I'd like to see the proof that all of these technologies are qualified to 500 day usage.Potable water by reduction of CO2?

In fact they did it semi-commercially so they're selling NASA water by the Liter. It's actually one of the bigger commercial success stories on the station to-date.~Jon
