Massive 'propulsive lander' with MAV that goes direct to earth.

Skycrane is efficient, mars orbit rendezvous is efficient. Idea is drop the efficiencies and use a big rocket?

Can't help but think... Starship booster does 50% more mass than SLS.

It will, when it becomes operational, assuming it meets its original performance goals.

I don't find the Boeing proposal very credible for a whole lot of reasons, but SLS has at least already flown.
