Incorrect. I also compared SLS to both (a) Falcon 9 and (b) Falcon Heavy. Both of which dramatically outperform it in regular commercial flight.
Whereas SLS has had exactly one test flight.
And of course Starship exists. It has flown 5 times, which is 4 times more than SLS. And has landed both parts at least once, which is infinitely many times more than SLS ever will.
So which of these is the "fantasy rocket"?
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 2y agoSLS has flown to the moon and back. Starship hasn't yet flown to orbit.
- mpweiher 2y agoFlying to the moon is a solved problem. Full rapid reusability is not. SpaceX is focusing on the unsolved problem, and making significant progress.
