New glenn 9x4x2 concept by me
New glenn 9x4 with an extra centaur 5 stage, it uses the universal stage adapter because it looks cool and it protects the centaur 5 stage inside it during the flight

A new glenn 9x4 with a centaur 5 upper stage which can send orion to the moon while reusing the 1st stage
Will long march 10 reuse the side cores like falcon heavy?
The long march 10 can carry the 26 ton lanyue and 22 ton mengzhou to tli, that means for mengzhou missions they can reduce the payload by 4 tons for mengzhou, since this reuse method has a lower payload penalty than using landing legs. Landers would be launched on the expendable long march 10 until the 3 stage long march 9 is working
Do you think a long march 10 with reusable side boosters will be developed?
The long march 10b has already landed and the long march 10 side boosters have the same diameter, they detatch close to the ground and the recovery method doesnt require heavy landing legs so the payload penalty would be low and the side boosters seem very expensive, i think this could work for mengzhou launches since it is 4 tons lighter than lanyue and launches on the same rocket so the payload penalty should be manageable. Lanyue launches would need the expendable variant until the long march 9 is operational.
My badly edited anti blue origin meme
Some of this is exaggerated but I think it's still funny
I think I'm starting to get too invested in this half assed bullshitery
An idea for an episode or short
Alan could get vr gear and get on the pc as a stick to get to know the others better.
