>manufacturers also charge more for bigger devices and most of that is margin. Why do they do that though? Usually more compact, high end devices would be more expensive than bulkier one. When has this trend reversed?

I generally only charge my 13 mini every other day or so. The only time I recently struggled getting through the day was when on vacation and constantly using google maps & translate. But that is with a 3 year old phone.

Orion's mass far exceeds Heavy's payload to TLI. It simply can't be used for the Artemis manned lunar program unless you want to completely reengineer the entire thing.

>Saturn V was less powerful than SLS - but it could send an entire mission in a single launch. Capsule, lander and all. That's just not true. Saturn V had a paylod of 43,500kg to TLI. Only the largest configuration of SLS(Block 2) e

Falcon Heavy as a TLI payload of 16,800kg. A fully decked Orion spacecraft weighs 33,446kg. Really the only alternative to SLS for Artemis would be Starship but that hasn't even achieved orbit yet (meanwhile SLS already did a successfu
