   That's where you went astray...   
   there is no design :)   
      
   Or, to be more accurate, there   
   were several design proposals   
   that met NASA requirements for   
   the JIMO mission, but no final   
   design had been selected before   
   the project was sidelined as   
   being "too ambitious for a first   
   step in nuclear electric   
   propulsion."   
      
   (Not to mention that Bush wants   
   people back on the moon... and   
   there ain't emough budget to   
   fund both projects concurrently.)
