Notably, we don't need to bring 100 tonnes to the surface of the moon. Or golf clubs. Stable hypergolic fuel would be useful, but there are no plans for that.

- alemanek 3y agoNASA has stated they want to maintain a long term presence on the moon. If we take them at their word then we absolutely do need to be able to bring 100 tons to the surface of the moon. Water, food, air, parts, habitats, ..etc. All of that adds up. Super Heavy lift capability and refueling will be vital to making those plans feasible.
