Both will preform similar roles...global recon & strike...one fast...the other slower...Blackbird & U2 Part II. It's the SLS that needs more funding. But, who knows? Perhaps it will get what it needs before 2020. Florida has a lot of NASA employee types that need a mission...and surely Trump needs Florida.

Team Trump knows that the U.S. needs an American, human rated launch system (can't say "man rated" anymore). Trudeau would say "peoplekind" rated. There are priorities that go far beyond the geo-political discomfort with dependence on the Russian Federation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the heavy-lift (bigger than the Saturn V) config that seems to have hit a funding snag at least with the White House. Too much reliance on Mr Musk for a human-rated Moon capable vehicle...even he can have a Challenger moment. Best to be redundant when redundancy counts, I say. The ISS is nearing its best by date...and a new station will be needed either way one goes with big boosters. Russia wants to do Mir II...modular...much like the ISS. Not sure if the US has thought too much about it. But likely a similar idea as it's just plain easier than building it up there. SLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair, Trump is facing the same budget problem that Nixon and the original Apollo/Saturn V program faced back in the early 1970's. They cancelled Apollo after 17 and used remaining boosters for Skylab. Need the ChiComs in space to really put the scare back into NASA priorities. They never should have put civilians at risk with STS...eroding public support. Edited April 4, 2019 by bush_cheney2004 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bucks...no Buck Rogers. ---The Right Stuff I've no doubt that Elon is going back before NASA at this point which is pretty funny all things considered. As I've mentioned before, the Red Chinese discovered something the US knew about since 1965. Using hypergolic fuel for manned launches produces a nasty pogo oscillation that is literally very, very hard to stomach. They had to make the instrument readouts on the Gemini-Titan II BIG so that so that they were easier to read (eyeball vibration)...thanks Gus & John...found out the hard way...poor guys. So we've not seen many Chinese in space. Not to mention the Long March is pretty dubious safety-wise for crewed launches (see Gemini VIa with its near disastrous pad abort ). They need a LOX/Kerosene type of set-up...much safer. Yes...plus, trained astronauts got bumped for the teachers in space program. Bad for moral.
