What is the best alternative to launch the Orion capsule? The vulcan, the falcon heavy or the starship.

The Orion capsule is done do this is exactly what I want to see. I think vulcan can get it to orbit but it would have to refuel

Falcon Heavy. Starship isn't operational yet. Not to mention that Starship really doesn't need Orion at all. It can go there itself.

Jim Bridenstine tried to separate SLS and Orion but then Shelby threw a fit and nearly got him sacked. So realistically Orion won't fly on anything other than SLS, even though it really should.

Speaking of SLS here's an incredible article detailing its failings for those interested: >https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2021/02/24/sls-is-cancellation-too-good/

forgot pic. FFS though a single expendable FH launch cost as much as a SINGLE ENGINE on SLS. The dichotomy is insane.

Fuck boeing also thank you for this anon. Orion on falcon heavy would be incredible because artemis would actually happen.

>thinking Orion will ever be launched
They've already put development of a lander on indefinite hiatus. Hundred bucks says they'll scrap the entire Artemis program within the next 2 years so they can refocus NASA's priorities on diversity outreach or some nonsense.

Because sls gives his state a lot of jobs and money and I'm sure he isn't a space idealist

I think he should die and for his state to become a massive meth den.

This may not be relevant but what is the perfect degree stack to get involved in a rocket program like starship?

I like the Vulcan a lot. I don't think its as good as the falcon heavy but i would like to see it have a part in artemis since its one of the few competitors that isn't pure trash
