Ok, get a falcon heavy configured to launch a mission around the moon by, say, Friday. When the SLS is on the pad. You cannot just wave your hand and say Space

Ok, get a falcon heavy configured to launch a mission around the moon by, say, Friday. When the SLS is on the pad.
You cannot just wave your hand and say SpaceX. As much as I think it's the better option to use falcon heavy, it's not ready this week.
- panick21_ 4y agoThat is such a ridiculous statement to make. Its literally trolling and not making an argument. Nobody says this first SLS shouldn't launch. Not that it would matter much if it didn't, but still. The discussion is about forward looking space policy for the next 10 years, for the whole Artemis program. SLS will fly LITERALLY 1 and then not again for 2-4 years. In that time a strategy change can and should be made.
- killyourcar 4y agoThis thread is full of people hoping it fails to launch.
- panick21_ 4y agoSome people say that, reading all the discussion far few people hope that it fails then that the program overall should get reformed, ie. SLS/Orion should get dropped.
- bottlepalm 4y agoIf it succeeds then billions more will be wasted on SLS. If it fails, there’s a good chance those billions will redirected into in actually sustainable launch system. It does suck to want something to fail, but you have to think about the bigger picture here and the greater good. No one is going to die.
