    Once we leave LEO, we need SHLVs. Absolutely NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. And Ideally, it would be big enough with volume to take up things like a nuclear reactors (cold, not hot).

    Actually, you want an assembly approach. For spending time in space, you want multiple redundant systems so that if micro meteoroids take out 1, u have others. For lunar base, you need sections to go down at a time.

    No. The problem with any part of SLS is economics. Simple as that. It is too expensive to fly.

    Wrong about musk. In order to get BFR costs down, he has to launch monthly and he knows it. Mars will have multiple launches and then a 20 month wait. He will be happy to throw up 300 tonnes monthly for the moon

    designed for EMS.
    Oddly, I think that the American version is different than the European version, which I know is different from the Chinese version.
    I am guessing that China required too much information so Tesla gutted a lot of things for them.

    All in all, Tesla is a secured system, esp with the software.

    We need to start raising the tax on gasoline and diesel by .01 / gal / month.
    Note that the gasoline portion should go to the state in which it was collected, while the diesel portion should remain with the feds. Then there has to be a stipulation that all of this will go ONLY INTO INFRASTRUCTURE.

    By doing this slowly, it will not harm the economy in any way. Likewise, by raising money, rather than borrowing, it builds today, without taking from tomorrow.
