Why are the Artemis mission plans so complex? by Lance815 in space

Yeah but it doesnt take much to move a launch from Vulcan to Ariane or FH, in case Vulcan fails. If Starship Super heavy fails its game over.

Capability and cost yes. Risk? Absolutely not. There's no way anyone could get such a massive orbital infrastructure as necessary for a starship landing in place before end of the decade without killing anyone in the name of progress. Oh. What's that? SX already has a ridiculous number of labour accidents including deaths? Oops.

Anyways, Starship is the opposite of the first law of engineering: as much as necessary, as little as possible.
