The Falcon Heavy is an upgrade of the Falcon 9, which cost around $1 billion to develop. The SLS is a clean-slate design, which is always much more expensive. The Falcon Heavy is also a maxed-out design - there's no room to expand it much beyond a 63t to Low Earth Orbit capability. The $5 billion BFR will replace it. SLS is expected to undergo significant expansion. The first generation SLS rockets are projected to have the capacity to place a ~90t payload in Low Earth Orbit, or a ~26t one in a Trans-Lunar Injection orbit (an orbit that will take the payload to the Moon - a capability that Falcon does not have). The second generation birds are projected to raise these to 105t and 37t, while the third generation are expected to reach 130t and allow a full heliocentric (actual solar orbit - Falcon can only do this with a dummy payload) capacity of 45t. SLS is overly expensive (due to a "must use Space Shuttle parts" mandate as much as anything else), but should be *much* more capable.

Falcon was founded mostly by a NASA (in other words, government) contract, the "Commercial Orbital Transportation Services" program. The sls program is a bad one, mostly because of congress involvement, so you could blame government for that. But if they just let nasa make all the decisions instead of forcing this project on them it would have been a different story. The sls is built by several private sector contractors.

Bad example for government vs private. Misleading by neoliberals who like that everithing become private - their. Better example of government vs private is price of medical drugs in US and in other countries.

Let's see which one blows up first

Jered Quarles

You fucking idiot, where do you think spacex got their know how about how to build those things?

Crystal Love

Sls will come with human rating from the start. Falcon still hast to earn it

Linda Briere

.... we now have rocket engineers.... u know what was not a thing back in the day.

Skyler Overton

Does the cost include the development of the technology or just the production ?

Robert A. Patterson

Check out ISRO

Santana Sanchez

Wrong comparison idiot. Falcon rockets are designed for commercial shit not space exploration.

Jackie Quick

Everything made with government money is 10 times more expensive. I call this phenomenon "greedy cousins"

Charles Massey

That is Kerbal Space Program on the left.

Alex Loredo

i misread it as "government vs pirate" lol

David Woods

I am not a European, but I believe Arianne 5 is way more cheaper than both of the above

1) SpaceX is heavily subsided. The real cost of launchs is about 3 times higher. (Source: dude trust me) 2) there are big difference in reliability.

Mariam Muladze

Don't let the US government do something because it will be 1000% more or even more then that.

Ava B Maistry

Why not just use the SaturnV design and upgrade it. 50 tons into trans lunar orbit and only 1.2billion per launch all inclusive.

Balint László Eduárd

That's normal. For example. Goverment institutions got money without working to get them, so spending them is easier than working to get founds necessary to make your project. That's why goverments are the worst economists but with that economists are the worst politics.

The oldest cave art in the world

entertainment facts The oldest cave art in the world By Emmajane Harper Hussar 09 Apr 97 Views The oldest cave art in the world Creative and creating artworks are always part of human nature and research that causes us to believe that Cave Art is one of the first ways to show creativity.
