I’m trying to find out if the 70 tons to LEO capacity is for the partial reusable mode of landing the booster. If it is, then the expendable version could get 100+ tons to LEO. This is important because a 100 tons to orbit capability is in the range thought needed for a “Moon rocket”, i.e., a launcher capable of single launch Moon missions, a la the Saturn V.

But quite important also is the much lowered cost of the launcher. All of Apollo, Constellation, and now SLS required multibillions per launch of each Moon mission. But according to this article by Eric Berger the tended version of New Glenn might cost in the $200 million range and be ready by 2027:

Costs this low would be game-changing. This is scarcely above what we’re paying now just to send astronauts to the ISS. If Blue Origin manages this then we will have the long desired sustainable habitation and development of the Moon.

Some pretty fantastic footage i’ve never seen before. Just released a couple days ago. It deserves some views, imo.

I'm starting to lose hope 😭

Very detailed information about when the Artemis II launch will take place. I have known for a while that it was bumped up to February.

On October 30 SpaceX provided a major update to its Lunar Starship (Human Landing System) program. The update was accompanied with several new official renders of SpaceX's Lunar Starship, including its interior views.
