If their primary solid rocket below explodes, they'd better have 20
gees worth of MLAS acceleration at their disposal. However, at 20,411
kg (nearly 20.5 tonnes) it's unlikely they'll get a fully loaded 2
gees worth (about a tenth of what they'll need if hell happens).
However using this as their top/final trans-lunar boost stage should
help get that tonnage of payload there in a whole lot better time.
Too bad that ghostNASA didn't think of this first. Oops! he kind of
did.
