Objective: Continued funding. Goal? It’s Boeing. They don’t need a goal. The pals in government will provide funding.

I think large scale moon manufacturing has to be the central goal. Once we can build on the moon, life gets very interesting. Launching probes everywhere in the solar system, enormous telescopes, plus tourism would drive a decent economy.

[RockinRobbins]

The first two missions of the Saturn V, Apollo 4 and 6 had no astronauts on board.

10:15 very good point-- since SLS is so expensive, and in a limited number, the SLS should only be used to deliver human crew. The other ships should be used to deliver non-human cargo and habs, for a lower price.

[greggweber]

It IMHO has a goal of electing politicians. Not space.

i AM LOOKING FORWARD for Dear moon too . Yusaku Maezawa should have great trip.

[robyn]

Of the five human rated NASA vehicles only the Shuttle had a crew on its first launch

[bernieeod]

I have no enthusiasm for a throw away mega rocket topped with a retro spam can re enacting past glories.

6:38 there will be no more green runs for SLS core stages for block 1 missions

There will however be an EUS green run before Artemis IV for block 1B

[alrightydave]

7:38 these are long duration missions unlike Apollo. You don't need high cadence. Just more advanced missions which is what Artemis is doing

[victor-emmanuelchauvet]

the future of starship is to transport cargo between celestial body

[raadrassool]

Just one Artemis or StarShip launch ( this year ) will cause the hysteria that we need to push our second space race into warp drive. The “once a year launch” plan will be replaced with a more aggressive launch schedule.

[GoranXII]

Another idea, have a rotating crew. Each crew only stays there for 30 days, but using Falcon-Heavy and Orion, you send up 12 launches per year, so you can staff the thing full time.

[tortysoft]

I missed the live show - from the UK. I watched a lot of launches today !

[enscroggs]

Projects without goals always succeed by definition.

Love the show

10:37 no. It'll take time for starship to get single launch expendable capability equal to and above that of SLS. Initially will need refuelings for no co manifest capability

[alrightydave]

10:40 no. nothing will be ready within a decade. We don't need anything else anytime soon

[alrightydave]

8:47 crew starship doesn't exist for LEO, nevermind the moon for 10-15 years

centaur V refuelling doesn't exist either and Orion isn't optimized for that. Also not for a decade

[karlthemel]

Starship could bring a large module docked to Centaur stage to Earth orbit. The Centaur gets it to the Gateway. No refilling is needed.
