Super heavy-lift launch vehicles

SLS is the conservative approach. Spacex Starship is the high risk approach. Starship is not a good replacement for the LEM but it is good that Spacex is pursuing refueling technology since Alabama politics made it impossible for NASA to do so.   Of course with fuel depots one might not want such a large vehicle as Starship. Smaller launchers operated more frequently might prove more economical.
