oh yeah, speaking of the SLS- how is it so weak? according to the NASA website it has 15% more thrust than the saturn v, and weighs around 16% less. however, it has a lower payload capacity to both LEO and TLI, and travels significantly more slowly, taking 5 days to get to the moon while saturn v only took 68 hours.
how is this possible? how does a rocket with more thrust, that weighs less, end up weaker than a rocket with less thrust that weighs more?
