SLS (Space Launch System) ancient, a truck, no better than 40 years ago
The Saturn V was virtually identical in-terms of carrying capacity,
size, etc. Why not just use a modded version of it and save BILLIONS in dev. costs (except what is STEALS from the Shuttle design) for this new one? Because they no longer have the complete specs for the Saturn V!!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14915725 |
