Since you're doing 3/2 engine Proton variants, can we get an extended 3rd stage tank to go with it?

A GIANT LEAP FORWARD As part of NASA's Fiscal Year 2004 Report, New Funding was allocated to expand the scope of the on-going Selene Program after realizing that China still doesn't have a defined Human-Rated Lunar Infrastructure, as indicated by classified documents, from being merely a second Apollo-style Lunar Landing "Boots On The Ground" attempt into a more fleshed-out Science Exploration Program involving the Original goal of establishing a human presence on the moon since the Apollo days, alongside Expanding Humanity's Scientific Endeavour by building Orbital Outposts in Low Earth Orbit and Beyond to serve as Staging Areas for Future Missions (Like Long-Duration Stays on a Space Station) Of course, none of that would be possible without improving Previous Mission Infrastructure, most notably the Saturn III Rocket - While Powerful enough for single-launch Lunar Missions (As demonstrated since 1998), It can't launch a Heavy Payload into Low Earth Orbit without compromising Performance, That's one of the main reason why the existing Saturn III will be replaced by the more powerful Saturn III+, Improving multiple aspects such as: - Engine Performance (STME-B) - Guidance Systems - First Stage Tanks (10m Extension) It was under the curtains for a while until recently, Design Documents were published 3 months after LDM-1 revealing the new and improved Saturn III+ Maximum Payload to Low Earth Orbit Comparison Upper Stages Technical Comparison Document Alongside Saturn III+'s reveal, A New Space Station was revealed soon after, aiming to serve as an Orbital Outpost for future missions. Derived from Previous Proposals for Space Station Freedom and Cancelled ISS moodules and proposals from International Partners like ESA and JAXA, The New Space Station under the name "Aquarius" is planned to enter Full Operational Status by 2012 Three Proposals were sent Pending Approval by all 3 sides (NASA, ESA and JAXA) Option A: Space Station Aquarius - Baseline Option B: Space Station Aquarius - Extended Proposal Option C: Space Station Aquarius - Free Flyer Derived From The Previous Proposal With the afromentioned recent developments and the change of direction, The First Moon Landing Mission is delayed to to NET 2009 to facilitate the transition from previous Saturn III Infrastructure and Operations to Saturn III+ Production and Operation, Implementing changes to modernize the Human Landing System [HLS], alongside the future development and assembly of Space Station Aquarius Farewell Statement: All Missions moving forward will no longer fly on Saturn III, So it's time to Bid Farewell to the venerable rocket that defied the odds, Set America's footing back into Space following a 30-year gap in Lunar Operations, Inspired a New Generation of Space Explorers and Served as a Test Platform for Crew-Rated Spacecraft Such as Odysseus.
