It shouldn’t need to be said but the reason we have to use Orion for a LEO Artemis III mission is because Orion will be docking to HLS at the moon and it would be very silly to test that docking with a completely different spacecraft

Ah yes this bird has unlocked the “new skill” of flying. Something birds famously cannot do

We’ve found a falcon 9 success denier guys.

Artemis II: lunar mission
Apollo 8: lunar mission

Artemis III: Leo lander mission
Apollo 9: Leo lander mission

Apollo 11: lunar landing mission
Artemis IV: Lunar landing mission

I know you’re all going to start coming up with your alternate architectures for Artemis III but don’t get your hopes up, 99.99999% chance it’s just going to be SLS to Leo with a dummy ICPS

A Leo SLS crewed mission could actually give us some incredible views of the core stage in space. I’m all for it!

Starliner Atop the Atlas V! a crewed atlas will very soon grace our skies again!

More Starliner shenanigans

So apparently I am anti-SpaceX because I don’t hate Boeing

Now live!
