This was too obvious. Isn’t the Titan IV a super rocket? Can’t extra stages be added if they want to go to the moon?

The Titan IV is a “stretched” Titan III with non-optional solid rocket boosters on the two sides. The Titan IV could be launched with either the Centaur upper stage, the NASA Inertial Upper Stage (IUS), no upper stage at all. Its a posibility.

The only problem with the Titan IV that is very expensive to produce.
