Hot take: for SLS Block 2 (if it happens), pairs of Falcon Heavy side boosters should be used instead of the current BOLE SRBs. Comparable thrust and mass but much higher specific impulse, cheaper, possibly reusable depending on the mission, and would be a good political compromise

tldr of launch vehicle development: • ~80T GLOW, 1T+ to LEO • 2m diameter, ??? length • propalox S1, methalox S2 • planning rather unique heat shield and landing system for upper stage will elaborate more once designs have been calculated
