See #66.
“NASA’s moon rocket”, in the long run is Starship. SLS was intended to be a temporary vehicle while the much more ambitions Starship went through development. (And Congress imposed idiotic requirements on it, because Congress is largely composed of idiots.)
Starship, for all its amazing capabilities so far demonstrated, has yet to complete a single Earth orbit.
SLS/Artemis has orbited the Moon and returned (unmanned).
Let’s all try to remain grounded in reality.
Yes....this is why I want the Artemus program functional >> to [re]claim the dominance in the development of the Moon in preparation for manned missions to Mars.
Even tho Elon has them as a priority, it’s looking like I will run out of life before the Mars missions occur.
