Lockheed Martin is building an interplanetary spaceship bound for Mars in 2028. It will be built with NASA SLS launches and use Orion to ferry crew. No mention of SpaceX.

SpaceX BTFO
According to Ben Rich they figured this out years ago:
>1 : “Inside the Skunk Works (Lockheed’s secret research and development entity), we were a small, intensely cohesive group consisting of about fifty veteran engineers and designers and a hundred or so expert machinists and shop workers. Our forte was building technologically advanced airplanes of small number and of high class for highly secret missions.”
>2 : “We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do.”
>3 : “We now have the technology to take ET home. No, it won’t take someone’s lifetime to do it. There is an error in the equations. We know what it is. We now have the capability to travel to the stars. First, you have to understand that we will not get to the stars using chemical propulsion. Second, we have to devise a new propulsion technology. What we have to do is find out where Einstein went wrong.”
>4 : When Rich was asked how UFO propulsion worked, he said, “Let me ask you. How does ESP work?” The questioner responded with, “All points in time and space are connected?” Rich then said, “That’s how it works!”

Nah, will not happen.
Defense contractors stay clear of the entertainment sector.
Why build toys when you make black trillions in the UAP business?
It'll never happen
SLS will be canceled before then
>>8123893
why do you insist on flooding the board with your popsci nonsense? fuck off
What's with /sci/entists and their love for NASA and all those state-run projects?
>>8123897
I believe you anon
fuck lockheed, they rescinded my dream job offer :(

It's not about shilling for NASA the SpaceX BTFO was just a joke. Why would you not want NASA or Lockheed to go ahead with this? The more trying to get to Mars the merrier. I sincerely hope Musk gets to Mars in 2025, I'm sure i said somewhere that I actually like him I'm just a reactionary against all the blind optimism I see on here. In the ideal world all three will get to Mars and work together sharing resources and funds. I hope nobody actually seriously fanboys one over the other. Sure NASA isn't interested in commercialization but SpaceX can use their infrastructure so we should support them both.

don't group us up with you, imbecile

Why did they rescind? Security clearance?
>>8124553
this isn't your personal chatroom, fuck off
>>8124553
no they said they were "restructuring" the team I was gonna join (pic related, they're expanding their compact fusion R&D team from 6 to like 25). I actually got an email from their security operations 3 days after the offer was rescinded saying the DoD accepted my security application

Why you salty bruv?
>>8124552
childish
if you have a problem with my theory argue about it in the thread about my theory and stop shitting up irrelevant discussions.
>>8124568

4chan isn't your personal blog, fuck off
>>8124564
Don't get disheartened, be positive, remember they were gonna take you so just keep trying to get a similar post there or somewhere else.

Consider yourself lucky not to have your name associated with this farce. Good luck for your future.
