    NASA + SLS (ULA/Boeing/etc.) is a "strong" contender. Might be more likely than Falcon Heavy. But it's possible that SLS or Falcon Heavy gets crew to the LOP-G, and then a lander plops them down on the Moon (Blue Origin?).

    Of course, if SpaceX can send artists around the Moon in a BFR by 2023, maybe they can get someone walking around there before an almost-sure-to-be-delayed NASA Artemis manned mission.
