Why SpaceX ditched NASA's $4B Rocket? The SHOCKING Truth Behind SLS Crisis!

In a shocking development, SpaceX's revolutionary Starship rocket has cast a dark shadow over NASA's $4.1 billion Space Launch System (SLS). While NASA's massive rocket struggles with delays and budget overruns, Elon Musk's reusable Starship promises the same capabilities at just 2% of the cost - sparking an unprecedented crisis in America's space industry. Discover why this cost difference could change the future of space exploration forever.

A viable alternative to SLS 1st Stage and SRBs is SpaceX's Super Heavy. Using now proven Super Heavy either expended or reused would be much cheaper than an SLS. NASA cannot afford SLS at $2.2 to 4 billion or more for a launch. A fully expended Super Heavy is estimated to cost $500 million. The Orion and Exploration Upper Stage (EUS) stack fueled has a launch weight of only ~68 metric tons. The Fully fueled mass of Starship is ~1, 200 metric tons. Super Heavy clearly has the lift to put the Orion and Exploration Upper Stage (EUS) stack into orbit with boost to spare. The Super Heavy would probably have to stage the EUS had a higher altitude and speed that would make recovery impractical. The EUS, at a higher velocity can put Orion in Trans Lunar Injection (TLI). SpaceX needs to man-rate the Super Heavy. NASA needs to work with SpaceX to design an adapter for the Super Heavy Orion stack. I might add, SpaceX's PICA-X heat shield material is more advanced, cheaper and reusable than NASA's Avcoat heat shield material used on Orion. That said if the Avcoat heat shield's issues are considered manageable and resolvable, it might be more practical to continue improving Avcoat rather than overhauling the entire heat shield system.

Tower caught it once, hardly routine....

Great commercial for SpaceX as long as you gloss over many of the technical details. SpaceX has no crew capsule for their big rocket. Man-rated vehicles take longer to develop even with all known shortcuts in play. Also it’s never wise to put all eggs in one basket no matter how much we love one company or another. A viable space future will necessarily be built on more than one provider. Yeah it costs more in the short term but pays off in the long run. “Michael Bloomberg” weighing in on space technology? Seriously? This is the most qualified commentator you could find? He knows diddly squat about developing space technology.
