  1. A reminder: With the October 31, 2021 launch of Crew 3 Space X will have put 18 people into earth orbit. By comparison:

    Boeing: 0

    Blue Origin: 0

    SLS: 0

    1. Was it Marshall Spaceflight Centre that used to have a sign during the Mercury days of ‘the number of free men’ NASA had put in orbit? Your list just reminds me of how the mighty agency seems to have fallen so far.

  2. I answered Boeing’s fancy tweet hawking SLS by reminding them how far they were behind schedule and the budget overrun.

  4. NASA Marshall should be developing new technology. We already have plenty of commercial orbital rockets.

    1. It’s a reminder of how long SLS has been stuck in development purgatory that NASA didn’t have all these options when the program was first funded!

    2. *sigh* Tell your Congressanimals, both House and Senate. They’re the ones keeping alive the syphilitic abortion that is SLS.

  6. So much work has come ot Huntsville in the last few years Congress can aford to end SLS without crippling the local economey.
    If Orion ever carries a crew it will be launched by SpaceX or ULA.

    1. Orion could and should be launched by Vulcan/Centaur V. It could go to the Gateway if done in a dual, distributed launch of an upgraded ‘Heavy’ version with 10x GEM-63XL boosters instead of 6x. Such a booster should be able to launch about 35 tons into L.E.O. In a distributed architecture; the first launch sends up the Orion into a parking orbit from one launchpad. The second launcher sends up a mostly fueled Centaur V stage with a docking collar on it. The Orion rendezvous and docks with this stage then burns out of LEO for the trip out to Gateway.

      A similar architecture could be done with dual Falcon Heavies or 1x Vulcan Heavy and 1x Falcon Heavy each, from 2x KSC launchpads. Even these two separate launches would surely be much cheaper than 1x SLS launch? And if an upgraded Vulcan Heavy could launch an Orion modified to have more propellants; then this could dock with a Falcon Heavy upper stage – used as the departure stage – and have enough delta-v to both get itself into and out of lunar orbit, with no Gateway needed…

        1. You are correct and are stating the most desirable outcome. However; if Orion was to fly on another booster other than SLS, it would not be BFR/Starship, which is of course why I mentioned Vulcan & Falcon Heavy. Of course, if a second Lander was chosen to compliment Starship, Artemis missions could be done with distributed launches via pairs of Vulcan Heavy & Falcon Heavy – Vulcan launches a 30-ton Lander or Orion and Falcon Heavy launches the departure stage. Or vice-versa if Vulcan could be upgraded to place a nearly full Centaur V departure stage in L.E.O.

          1. Musk did mention an expendable Super Heavy upper stage for high ∆v launches. It’d be interesting to see how that could impact the market.
