SLS, like the shuttle External Tank, could get to orbit with a smaller payload…stage-and-a-half style.
That needs looking at.
New Horizons exaggerated the tyranny of the rocket in a different way.
Simply stretching the SLS core with a modest Mars sample return… might that shove the SLS core to the Moon with the light payload coasting to Mars?

In reply to Ron Macy.
Hi Ron,
Good catch. My apologies for the error – I must have been thinking of how this statistic was phrased before April’s Starship test flight. Super Heavy is, indeed, a longer stage (unless you consider the Launch Vehicle Stage Adapter to be part of the Core Stage, since the two components remain attached throughout flight).
Neither stage is the widest. That title goes to the first stage of the Soviet N-1, which was 56 feet wide. At 33 feet in diameter, the Saturn V first and second stages were the widest to complete their mission.
Best regards,
Alex
