Falcon 9 + Crew Dragon and Starliner (hopefully, once it flies) can support Starship in LEO. Then Starship can get you to Lunar and Mars surface. SLS is not pushing SpaceX on anything anymore, because Falcon Heavy took almost everything besides Orion from SLS. That's Falcon Heavy mind you, not Starship. SLS was important for assembling Lunar Gateway. Lunar Gateway itself is useless and was invented for justifying SLS existence. But if we skip that, then funny fact. Lots of pieces of Lunar Gataway will fly on Falcon Heavy! Resupply to Lunar Gateway will also fly with SpaceX on Dragon XL and Falcon Heavy. There was also NASA flagship Europa Clipper mission. But due to lack of available SLS vehicles, NASA shifted it away from SLS and it will fly on Falcon Heavy. You just can't make it up. https://spacenews.com/nasa-selects-falcon-heavy-to-launch-first-gateway-elements/ https://spacenews.com/nasa-selects-falcon-heavy-to-launch-fi... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Dragon#Dragon_XL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Dragon#Dragon_XL
