Soyuz is such a cool ship and it got me thinking about how a neat alternate timeline would’ve been one in which NASA continues to fly Gemini as a small 2-man crew ferry alongside the shuttle (Think MOL but without the huge station attached). I think you could fit 3 people eventually in there if you squeeze them in like with Soyuz.

Yes there have. Pic related would’ve used BiModal NTR, and using the power generated with that, would have also powered an Electric Propulsion system.

The vehicle would’ve fired its NTR to escape or enter orbit around bodies, and the NEP to speed up and slow down in interplanetary space. Pretty cool concept. It would be able to complete a round trip to mars in 365 days.
