More on NASA's Possible Commerical EM-1 Mission

I posted last week about the possibility that NASA might use commercial boosters for the Orion EM-1 mission instead of the troubled SLS. There's been quite a bit about this in the press and on space-related sites.

One of the more informative (and somewhat speculative) pieces I've seen is this thread on Reddit's /r/spacex forum. The betting seems to be on NASA using two Delta IV Heavy boosters, although combinations of the Delta IV Heavy and Falcon Heavy have their proponents.



We'll find out in a couple of weeks, most likely.
