Vision for Space Exploration: t/Space Midterm Architecture Briefing

I just noticed on t/Space's web site that they've released their
December 1 midterm briefing to NASA, as part of their contract to
develop a comprehensive plan for the Vision for Space Exploration. That
briefing is available he

For those unfamiliar with t/Space, it's a commercial space company
whose team includes people like Burt Rutan, LunaCorp's David Gump,
SpaceX's Elon Musk, and Carnegie Mellon's Red Whittaker. Their plan is
focused on having NASA help to support a commercial space
infrastructure, rather than having the infrastructure be directly
managed by the government (as it is today).

The presentation also shows t/Space's designs for CEVs and lunar
landers, which appear to be heavily influenced by Scaled's
composites-centric approach.
