SpaceX’s BFR plans to overcome the propellant problem for getting to Mars by refueling in orbit. I am surprised the article didn't mention the refueling possibility. Maybe NASA didn't want to admit they are making a mistake putting all their cash into the SLS.
Also, the economic implications of the equation don't matter so much when you have a reusable rocket, and the BFR is supposed to be able to reuse both stages.
- neolefty 8y agoI am surprised the article didn't mention the refueling possibility. NASA source is from 2012, before BFR was fleshed out.
- Robotbeat 8y agoSpace refueling is way older than 2012.
- woodandsteel 8y agoOk, but it still should have been included as a theoretical possibility.
