The DRM 5.0 Constellation architecture will always be my absolute favorite. It always felt so real, but remains so far away…

That’s a lot of fun speculation! But multi-launch missions are bad in the SLS era.

The massive expense of such concepts killed them. IMO any future similar proposals will be stillborn for the same reason. Until it’s around an order of magnitude cheaper, there’ll be no public appetite for the huge bill. That more or less demands significant reuse and/or very cheap standardized systems.
