I know it is an old presentationh eld by Alan Thirkettle (Head of the Development-Department of ESA’s Human Spaceflight Directorate). , however I have not seen it posted before (and only discovered it recently).

I especially like the way a moon landing scenario is contemplated on Slide 10 (although this can't work as it is contemplated there - TEI burn by a Kliper orbital modul of a "Kliper-light" version launched by a Soyuz 2-3)

By the way, anybody has more information on post-Kliper selction (ITAR-TASS already reported the selection of Energia's proposal in late April)
