This is legitimate cope. It's like a hundred years from now saying any achievement by Martians is an achievement by all of humanity.

I'd say both world wars are a lot bigger than random little countries.

why is the tiny toy paper rocket New Glenn mentioned alongside super heavy lift launch vehicles that completely outclass it?
and starship dwarfs ""long march 9""

Good thing that's not the Long March 9

to be fair that's block 2, which will never happen. Block 1 is noticeably smaller.

SpaceX using a bunch of kickstages to deliver satellites in massive bulk to multiple orbits would be pretty sick

Direct correlation with tonnage to LEO.
Overall size of the rocket is size of rocket girl.
Saturn V and Starship around same cup size with Starship slightly taller and a bit thicker. Sea Dragon would be an absolute Amazonian monster; 6'6", breasts each bigger than a man's head and too large to grasp even just one with both hands, thighs that could snap titanium tubes and hips that could bulldoze bunkers. N1 would be fairly bottom heavy. Energia would basically be a dwarf. Falcon Heavy would be a spunky and deceptively small tomboy.

Notice the engines? It's not SLS, it's Falcon Heavy. Their version of SLS, Long March 9, was canceled.

This fake rocket anime has more merit to its waifus than it has any right to.

A timeline of potential future human colonization and related efforts across the solar system.
I.E.
>small permanent Moon base with cycling crew
>initial Mars colony and its growth
>expansion and additions of space stations in orbit of Earth (including initial artificial gravity stations for both testing and living)
>space stations in Lunar and Martian orbit (used for more than just communication and more easily moving things on and off Mars)
>initial very small floating colony on Venus
>sending manned expeditions to other planets' moons
>initial asteroid belt mining infrastructure getting set up
>construction of significant space industry allowing for in-space production of many things required for space operations as well as full space station habitats likely in some Earth/Moon Lagrange point
There's really just such massive amounts of speculation to be done that theories of what will, would, or could happen could be busted or proven in relatively short timescales.
That being said, I'm still convinced that Starship will spearhead most of this (or whatever happens in its place).

No, Long March 9 is not bigger than Saturn V.

Is he actually stupid, or does he just play one on the internet?
>Regolith probably wouldn't block any holes, being on the outside, but it would definitely slow down the leak rate of even an otherwise catastrophically large hole.
That's what I meant. It buys you time.

Now the next question is, how much should we build here and how much should be assembled on the moon itself?
If we still had something with heavy lift capabilities like the Saturn V we could launch some pretty huge pre-assembled habitats.
Skylab was essentially a Saturn V third stage.
