Each #SLS and #Orion #Artemis launch costs approximately $4.1 to $4.2 billion 💰💰💰💰.

#SpaceX’s #FalconHeavy rocket, which recovers and reuses ♻️ its boosters : $100 million 💵 per flight.

~ 42 Falcon Heavy launches for the price of a single SLS launch

#FalconHeavy has a cost per kilogram to #LEO of approximately $1,400 💵 per kg. The cost per kilogram to orbit using the #SpaceX #Starship is approximately $94 🪙 https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2025/01/spacex-starship-roadmap-to-100-times-lower-cost-launch.html

SpaceX shifts away from Dragon launches at pad 39A as Starship looms

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://spaceflightnow.com/2026/02/06/spacex-shifts-away-from-dragon-launches-at-pad-39a-as-starship-looms/

if all we want to do is fly around the #Moon 🌙 and back, a lightly modified #CrewDragon on #FalconHeavy could have done this at any point since 2020. It could be executed for well under $500m 💵, roughly equivalent to a single month of burn on the #SLS and #Orion programs. That is, for the same budget, we could fly a crew around the Moon every month indefinitely https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/nasas-orion-space-capsule-is-flaming-garbage/

#NASA #Artemis

#NewGlenn is giving the #Falcon9 and especially the #FalconHeavy a run for its money. #Starship's low launch costs, high cadence, and massive payload bay could turn the industry on its head https://spaceinsider.tech/2025/01/10/new-glenn-vs-starship-a-detailed-comparison-in-2025

Until Starship begins commercial operations, New Glenn’s 7-m-diameter 📏 fairing may be the best option for customers whose spacecraft don’t fit in the roughly 5 m fairings of Falcons and #ULA’s #Vulcan, or to launch more spacecraft at a time https://aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/features/two-launches-two-companies-two-billionaires

Direct-to-#GEO (35,786 km) launches are exceptionally challenging for the #rocket. The upper stage must survive a roughly five-hour 🕔 coast to that apogee. During that coast, the rocket 🚀 must survive passes through both of #Earth’s harsh #radiation belts and maintain perfect control of its orientation and tank #pressures to keep its refined kerosene fuel from #freezing, its cryogenic liquid oxygen (LOx) from #boiling away, and itself from #bursting 💥 as its propellant warms and expands. https://www.teslarati.com/spacex-falcon-heavy-launch-spectacular-jellyfish/

#Shelby was a frequent #critic of commercial space in general and #SpaceX specifically. He did not believe private companies—especially those that did not do much business in #Alabama 💰 —should receive government funding.
He also held the line in 📆 2019 when #NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine suggested that due to #delays with the rocket's development, it might be better to launch the #Orion spacecraft on SpaceX's #FalconHeavy #rocket 🚀 https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/01/so-long-richard-shelby-and-thanks-for-all-the-pork
