Not really. Falcon Heavy and Crew Dragon were already designed for those rating, they just didn't go threw the certification process.

Its not like Orion has actually flown, Crew Dragon and Falcon Heavy are more proven then SLS/Orion and would be easier to certify.

>> they just didn't go threw the certification process.

You don't have much aerospace and certification experience, do you?

Instead of making smart as comments, why not actually make an argument.

Nobody denies its hard and would take singificant work.

But the fact is, all the individual subsystems are certified. The Falcon 9, a closely derived rocket is fully certified. The Dragon is fully crew certified for LEO. And both Falcon Heavy and Dragon are engineered from the ground up to be able to be certified if required.

If this was an argument about if it cost 5 million of 50 million then we could have a discussion.

BUT ITS LITERALLY ABOUT 10+ billion $. So unless you can make an argument that it somehow cost more to human certify Falcon Heavy and Crew Dragon for moon then the complete Falcon 9 and Dragon program cost in the first place then you don't have an argument. Only smart-ass comments.

So please tell me, what do I not understand. Why would it cost 10 billion to do the things I suggest. In reality, we know that it wouldn't even cost 1 billion $.
