Vessel Aries 1

[barrygolden]

NASA needs a cheaper way to fly Artemis past Artemis 4 and 5 sp with Starship doing the TLI and LOI burns might be time to rethink the Aries 1 rocket, I would have to be way cheaper than the 4.5 billion spent on SLS per flight and only funded through Artemis 5 the Aries 1 with a Centaur 5 upper stage seems to make a lot of sence .

Not sure NASA has looked into this but it would be pretty cool to see this fly again in Orbiter 2016

With MS2015 you can build your rocket. May have to make new fairing,....
But I get this.

Funny my Jupiter2 launchpad in the background

We need some help on this.
It is ms2015
Guidance. we have:
-10=Orbit(185,185)
-3=engine(0,100,3.0)
but it never makes it into orbit?


Also we have this: it seems you have to press J twice to separate from the 1st stage?
