Well, NASA is still developing the SLS rocket and vehicle, which is sort of an anti-shuttle in that the vehicle is designed to go beyond LEO and 100% not reusable. So the missions keep changing, but the capability will eventually be ready -- maybe not before Space-X sets up a hotel on Mars, but you never know. It's either the Moon or a nearby asteroid - there definitely won't be funding to do anything more than that. And if it is the Moon, it'll be a station because there won't be funding for landings. With heavy lifters like the Falcon Heavy under development, it makes me wonder what's the point of the SLS rocket anymore anyway. Sigh. I thought we were making America great again, like with Apollo....Originally Posted by Steely Glint
