Orion impresses me because: 1) it is achievable with 1960s technology 2) the payloads, my god, MILLIONS of tons is the ideal cargo size 3) one month to get to jupiter's moons! I think if we had good funding I would do: 1) Get starship mature 2) capture some asteroids to make an orbital base 3) moon base + a lunar launch loop or launch rail or lunar space elevator 4) build an orion ship on the moon and launch from the moon 5) mine the major asteroids. Profit!
