| #3 AlanC - A fully loaded 2nd stage of the StarShip (Musk's big rocket) will mass 10,000 metric tons. I suspect no matter what the official payload is that it could be made to carry a 326 ton load... (official payload is likely tons less than the SLS so they don't piss off NASA)... |

| #2 The CIA bought all the titanium to build the SR-71's, which were supposed to be the RS-71 but Johnson screwed it up, from Russia. |

| #1 There is more accessible titanium on the Moon than on the Earth. For some definitions of the word "accessible". Let's see one of these up there Hitachi's EH5000AC-3 mine truck has the payload capacity of 326t. |
