Abstract
The main application of ISRU in the foreseeable future is production of propellants (ISPP). NASA funding has been inconsistent, inadequate and sporadic. There doesn’t seem to be a plan, but rather a series of decisions of the moment, not well connected. While it has always been assumed that producing propellants remotely has innate value as measured by a reduction of mass in LEO, projections of further reduction in the cost of launch mass might well tip the scales in favor of bringing propellants from Earth. The question whether to “make it or take it” remains yet to be resolved.
