Fortunately, we have a brand new rocket. I think it will be the largest in the world...15% more thrust than the Saturn-5.

Maybe so, but Musk’s Starship will have 16 million pounds of thrust, more than twice the Saturn 5’s 7.5 million. And it’s reusable.

On the SLS everything gets thrown away every launch except for the Orion capsule.

That’s why the SLS is projected to cost $2 Billion per launch vs $2 Million for Starship.

One Thousand times less!

I believe the SRBs are reusable, since they’re the same one used on the shuttle, with 2 extra segments, each.
