We should concentrate on the moon. Work out techniques and train ourselves. This makes sense. If a staging area could be built on the moon, it could serve as something of a waystation. Might even be a good way to start a series of International Space Station-style waystations along the way so that the trip to Mars wouldn't be as arduous as current plans suggest.

If we plan to go beyond the moon, we need new propulsion technology...or simply use NTRs and damn what ELF has to say about it.

Interesting. A station halfway from earth to Mars. Or a station farther away than the moon. Have to think about that.
