Is Starship's HLS Actually Viable?

[Matthew-NC]

In this video we’re going to try and figure out if Starship HLS really is a viable option for NASA and SpaceX to get humans back onto the surface of the moon for the Artemis Program. We'll talk why it's so tall, why it uses Methalox instead of hypergolic propellants, explain why it requires 15 or more launches for a single lunar landing and we'll even go over alternate options that could maybe simplify or speed up the process.
