But that's still a lot

#

i wish

#

i want 4 SLS's per year

#

roll them out like they starship prototypes

#

i mean 2 would be good, one crew SLS and one cargo SLS

#

SLS block 1 cargo troll

raw abyss
#

crew SLS for, well, crew

#

cargo SLS (block 1b or 2 ofc) for expanding a lunar base or expanding gateway or even way down the line, sending cargo to Mars.

neat bobcat
#

A cadence of two per year is 6 cores in flow

#

4 in production and 2 in long lead

rocky basin
#

Ah then it’s more a fixed production timeline

#

three years per core no matter how many cores we’re doing, yeah?

neat bobcat
#

roughly

#

Rn it’s a 52 month timeline from contract to finish

raw abyss
#

do you reckon we will get an SLS per year?

dapper ice
#

Not now

#

Maybe like 2027

#

2028 is when they start ramping up

#

Launching Artemis IV then Artemis V

rocky basin
#

Yeah, I’d put it a couple years after Artemis iii

mellow crest
#

So could this thread just be changed to "Artemis Program" or something now?

#

And renamed again whenever Artemis II launches I guess

I mean, it would be incredible if the crew announces themselves and behind them is the Core Stage II and the Orion ship from Artemis I.

Well

It'll definitely be Italy

I can't see another Artemis country working on the airlock other than Italy

The Artemis program is becoming too woke

Shouldn't there just be one Artemis Program one

holy shit Orion did the thing

#

Artemis 1 completed its mission with 0 issues

#

Incredibly impressive

#

@long flume remember

#

SLS is still a paper rocket

#

Time to refurbish the booster and go for the next mission...

#

Oh wait

#

#

@long flume you're insulting the SLS???

I'll have you know my dad works for the ULA

no one insults sls

And he can drop an Antares on your neighborhood!!!

What was that verse in the bible

During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

#

Same applies to SLS

I'm aware it was false but they still don't usually fly astronauts who have been in major controversies again do they

safe cave
#

she’s been long cleared of that

#

and she was selected to be an Artemis Astro after

mellow crest
#

Oh I wasn't aware she was in Artemis

#

Pog

safe cave
#

it would be fair to punish her for having a crazy ex

safe cave
mellow crest
#

It wouldn't, but I was under the impression NASA astronauts could get grounded for sneezing in the wrong direction

safe cave
#

idk

#

this would make no sense

mellow crest
#

True

safe cave
#

i doubt the rest of the corps would be happy

mellow crest
#

Yeah

safe cave
#

that’s a really nasty precedent

#

Glad to be wrong then

last message SLS is so slay

last message, Artemis in general is cool, SLS does not need to be a part of it

we love engine 3

we love the core stage

#

Never said that?

rocky basin
#

no but bringing up SLS and Orion’s sole capability is typically done to defend their inclusion rather than show the problem they raise

#

and you’re doing it here too

#

I don’t really agree with Miranda that SLS doesn’t need to be a part of Artemis though, there’s no program without pork.

mint reef
#

My point is that the way it was crafted, SLS has to happen

#

we can criticize the thought proceess behind the whole ops

#

but that ship sailed over a decade ago

neat bobcat
#

and to no ones surprise SLS launches before Starship

mint reef
#

if you cut it now, you just leave NASA without a lunar capable spacecraft and rocket and no alternative to replace it

rocky basin
mint reef
#

lol

rocky basin
#

just because things are the way they are doesn’t mean they have to be forever

#

Criticising the way things are set up is important to changing them, if you wanted to do that. It’s not pointless at all.

mint reef
#

nope never said that

rocky basin
mint reef
#

because the sentiment behind such statements is to usually gut sls without an alternative solution

#

i think y'all take this too seriously anyways

#

we don't have a say in any of this so I'm just glad its happening at all

#

and i enjoy the cool pics BlobPopcorn BlobPopcorn

rocky basin
mint reef
#

yes: money

rocky basin
#

I believe most who would make such a statement would advocate for an alternative solution rather than not to have anything filling that lunar taxi role

rocky basin
#

That’s a political reason

#

and politically I do think SLS is necessary to keep Artemis going

*"Oh Artemis I, our shining star
Your Orion craft, so bright and far
You've journeyed to the moon and back
A feat that leaves us in awe

Your engines roar, your engines flame
You defy the odds and stake your claim
To the stars, to the moon, to the sky
You show us all what we can try

Oh, Artemis I, our lunar love
You soar above and rise above
The limits of what we thought we knew
You show us all the world anew

Your noble mission, your valiant flight
Inspires us all with your might
To explore, to learn, to grow
To take a step, to take a bow

So here's a love poem, just for you
For all the things you've dared to do
You are the pride of NASA's fleet
You are the heartbeat of our human feat."*

I asked an AI to write a love letter to Artemis I

Why does Reusuing something take 27 months

#

so it's not even refurbishment

#

lame

urban basin
#

The 27 month gap between A1 and A2 has more to do with going though all the data from A1 with a fine tooth comb and making sure it matches predictions than reuse of certin components

#

Add in other factors like astronaut training and well... budget and that's how you get that number

#

You don't rush super heavy launch vehicle development or testing

dapper ice
#

Hopefully it still launches like planned in 2024

urban basin
#

There is this base assumption that it's going to happen in 2025 but honestly I still think 2024 seems likely

#

Yet again there is this base assumption that Starship is always two milliseconds away from orbital flight

#

oops

dapper ice
#

Starships Hls has nothing to do with A2

urban basin
#

Other than the fact they are both apart of the Artemis Program

mellow crest
#

it'll be ready and tested for Artemis III in 2027

dapper ice

#

yeah, plenty of time to work out HLS

urban basin
#

A3 2026/2027 seems correct

#

I was talking about A2

dapper ice
#

HLS engines were apparently being tested i heard

mellow crest
#

I wonder about those

#

what cycle will they use\

mellow crest
#

Probably gas generator or pressure fed i suppose

#

since they are "simpler"
