For some reason, I doubt that EM-6 will ever happen.

I suspect that most people who have this response think that everything will be dropped for magical unbuilt spacecraft.

What a mess. Wonder if they'll get any responses

Doesn't really seem like too much of a mess. Imagine if companies like SpaceX were public with their difficulties- don't think that they don't have funky stuff too just because they don't do press releases for it like NASA has to, being public.

I like the ESM, but it is somehow poor, that they still have to use the OMS...
Kiitos. Käytämme tätä aikajanasi parantamiseen. KumoaKumoa

Seems pretty unlikely EM-6 will ever happen. But I guess if NASA is handing out free money... a vacuum modified SuperDraco with a better expansion ratio could be a good replacement.

Seems like its happening pretty certainly. They're not going to dump it all for the first shiny SpaceX thing that happens. That would be really unwise.

Important reminder that while the private sector is launching Falcon Heavy, NASA is on year 15 of picking an engine.
