Examines the potential of dual-purposing an ascent vehicle for both Moon and Mars missions. Finds similarities in V, thrust, crew cabin, and power/thermal subsystem requirements. Tighter mass budgets for Mars vs. Moon mission. Potential challenges that need more detailed design and analysis to answer.
