This thing will carry crew to the surface?
[edit]"planned by NASA to carry crew to the Martian vicinity for missions to its moons and surface"
The article is entirely devoid of details about how the DST would land on, or lift off from, the surface of Mars. And unlike this image of a BFR second stage, the article's image does not show a vessel that "looks like" it could survive a descent to the surface of Mars.
I hope more information can be added, to make this a credible article. 50.198.139.201 (talk) 01:14, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- The sentence you quote does not imply it does land, it says it would be used to carry crew to the Martian vicinity. DST would not itself land on Mars, it would dock with and transport to Mars (kinda in the name) equipment such as a landing module. This is similar to the Apollo architecture; the Apollo Command/Service Module did not land on the Moon, it transported the Apollo Lunar Module to lunar orbit. The article lacks information largely because there isn't much concrete information in the public domain yet as the whole issue of the Deep Space Gateway is still in negotiation among the international partners.
