That's where Tsiolkovsky's rocket equation is good fun... A less than 1 meter-tall rocket with 500kg of payload to LEO would be completely insane ?

Just because I enjoy making models and stuff... Here are some SLS paper models I enjoyed building. (Free to download)

Oh yes. Alphonso (the A in AXM Paper Models) has some fantastic models available on his site. I've built the Aries 1X, Apollo-Soyuz, Progress, Zevda, and am currently on the crawler for the MLP. The SLS is in the build queue.
 
Yeah that era of missile age ended in the early 1960's with launch vehicles like Atlas 1 and the original R-7... ?

Still, anything that could be used for a ballistic missile, regardless how much work is still left there, falls under the ITAR, especially guidance, navigation and control stuff. Its really annoying.

lol... The SLS would definitively be the worst ICBM ever, like 20 years of launch preparations... :ROFLMAO:

Still, its GNC hardware & software would be nice in any ICBM. ;)

If you have closed loop powered guidance, you can use it for ANY target orbit, including suborbital orbits impacting on a certain city....
 
SLS clears the pad, begins to pitch downrange, but to a northerly azimuth. Eyebrows are raised, guidance and control officers smirk, range safety officer mumbles unintelligibly because they are gagged and duct taped to their chair. MECO occurs, then second stage ignition, but SECO occurs early. Everyone turns to the orbit display over mission control and see to their horror that the projected impact point is near Moscow.

Orion separates before re-entry, and after re-entry the parachutes deploy, pulling the backshell away exposing that it was not an Orion after all, but a large pallet of millions and millions of counterfeit rubles, which breaks up in the slipstream, causing the individual notes to flutter gently to the ground over the greater Moscow metropolis, leading to a collapse of the ruble just days later.
