Many of my space friends will hate this 🧵, but I very much share @sciguyspace’s misgivings about #SLS & would go further. I understand his argument that we had to squander $50bn on SLS+ for people to realize it’s not the future of crewed spaceflight & we need to transition… 1/5
to sustainable, reusable, far less expensive and more capable rockets such as #Starship. But the issue is we could still be wasting billions on these launches for years to come, and slowing down Moonbase progress. I do think #Artemis as an idea is too far along not to happen. 2/5
Yes #WeAreGoing so I’d be fine if #SLS blows up en route to orbit so long as no one’s hurt. That way everyone would have to accept it’d be too costly and take too long to build another SLS just to test, and they should divert the money elsewhere for our return to the #Moon. 3/5
