15 Launches from 2007 to 2015 (~2 launches per year) ~150T of water to LEO (19T/year) via commercial launch services 2 Space Tugs 3 Planetary Landers Commercial H2O to LEO service incubates other commercial LEO markets L1 Gateway enables highly efficient outer solar system exploration Lunar ISRU significantly reduces exploration launch mass requirements Water commerce acts as fallback if ISRU is not realized Ability to return significant quantities of material from the Moon (up to 15 T)VISTAs step wise modular approach enables synergy with otherstakeholders and encourages the placement of permanent humanoutposts for sustained program extensibility.

You'll be needing the Wayback Machine!http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://exploration.nasa.gov/documents/reports/cer_final/Andrews.pdfThat version is dated March 2005. It's substantially different from the Dec 2004 version, 118 slides versus 69.
