Key questions addressed: How short can the trip times be reduced in order to reduce crew exposure to the deep-space radiation and microgravity environment. Are there options to conduct easy, early missions.. What is the affect of infusion of advanced propulsion technologies on target availability When do the departure opportunities open up, how frequent and how long are they. How many launches are required to conduct a round trip human mission to a NEA. And, based on the above, how many Near-Earth Asteroids are available
