| JUNE 1968
The 5 Gigawatt Phoebus 2A (not pictured here) was successfully tested at over 4 Gigawatts. Till this day Phoebus is still the most powerful nuclear reactor ever.

Pictured here are the positions of Earth relative to Mars from APOLLO 8 to 12. Mars is closest to Earth during the Apollo 10 and Apollo 11 launches.
These are the arrival times assuming an NTR doubled the top speed of the chemical J-2 engine.

I believe that Mars was used to test the SDI system. During the late 70's America intervenes in Afghanistan to give the Soviets their "Vietnam." Fighting a unconventional proxy war on the borders of the Soviet Union was a provocative move. It played a role in the collapse of the Soviet System and ended up starting insurgencies inside Russia herself. America then funded these terrorists, giving them support in intelligence, communication, arms and personnel. This was even more provocative it begs the questions why did Russia put up with it for so long? And why did America feel as though they could get away with it?
The answer to that question is SDI. There is a very reliable system of SDI in place. Well, maybe not as reliable as some would think given the events of 911. But, definitely reliable enough that the Americans decided to conduct a war inside Russia. But where could you test such a system? Mars was the testing ground of the SDI system. The NERVA rocket engine if used in the 3rd stage of the Apollo could have put up 500,000 pounds or 250 tonnes into LEO. This is the same amount of payload that the Project Horizon document states that the Army's secret moon base needs. It was going to take 61 Saturn I and 88 SATURN II launches to put 250 tonnes on the moon. It is conceivable that even more could be put into orbit. If the Phoebus 5000 MW engine had been utilized. 833 tonnes of payload can be put into LEO. I think it is safe to say that the goals of Project HORIZON could be realized in a single launch and the technology was there.
So, the technology was there to put the lunar orbiter and the command module plus a hidden Mars Mission in the 3 stage of the Saturn V. These tests would have taken place in the 1970's and 80's. I have written elsewhere about Dr John Brandenburg and his claims of an ancient Martian nuclear war. I believe that this is really evidence of human habitation and use of Mars as a testing ground. But, SDI could very easily have been tested there as well. Multi missile volleys could be tested on Mars out of the sight of everyone. In January 2012 Russia attempted the first Mars mission to bring back soil samples. I think this was shot down possibly to prevent them from discovering evidence of human habitation.
Notes:
UPDATED 05 March 2018
“A Saturn-V with a first generation NERVA I (1500 MW, 825 seconds) as its third stage could boost almost 500,000 pounds to LEO.” (Dewar & Bussard, 94). The 5000MW Phoebus 2A, assuming direct proportionality, would have been able to put up 1,666,667 pounds of payload into LEO. This was 6.4 times the payload of the chemical Saturn-V or over a quarter of the Saturn-V's takeoff weight. The Saturn-V put about 35% of its LEO weight to the moon. A PHOEBUS 2A would have put 583,333 pounds 291 tonnes to the surface of the moon or 9% of the takeoff weight. This is nearly nine times more weight taken to the moon than the chemical Saturn-V.

NOTES:
The Saturn-V put about 35% of its LEO weight to the moon. A PHOEBUS 2A would have put 583,333 pounds to the surface of the moon.
Fully fueled, the Saturn V weighed 6.5 million pounds (2,950 metric tons) and had a low Earth orbit payload capacity originally estimated at 261,000 pounds(118,000 kg), but was designed to send at least 90,000 pounds (41,000 kg) to the Moon.

It is notable that all of the S-IVB boosters from Apollo 8 to 12 are in a heliocentric orbit.
