Don’t we already have a mega rocket in the Saturn 5?
Boeing is pathetic.
NASA should turn the project over to SpaceX.

If we sold areas of the moon, we’d have companies up there mining that sucker in no time at all.
I believe there are treaties in place which basically say you can’t sell the moon. But I think we should tear those up. Get government out of the way and watch entrepreneurs solve all the problems.
Pitiful and typical. Most gooberment programs have enough slackers and losers to make them fail. It is the people hired and the way they are managed.
It is difficult to soar with eagles when you work with turkeys.
Gooberment workers are not well motivayed. They have no organizational or personal fear of either failure or firing.
Most gooberment contracts are written and managed to give the contractor incentive to rape pillage and abuse. Defense contractors have honed this into an art form. Tough contract officers must be scarce as unicorns.
Even military contracting is a bonafide cluster fluck. Criminal is more like it.
You take the job, you do the job and work yourself to a nubbin or go broke to meet the terms of the deal is not a concept that lives in the gooberment or their contractors. Maybe somewhere?
Even performance bonds don’t insure success.
Give it to Musk - he’ll do it for a tenth the cost.
All of the spacex fanbois don’t mind that everything spacex does is shared with China. Elon Musk is a walking talking national security risk - he needs to completely cut ties with China before he can be trusted.
