NASA finally admits what everyone already knows: SLS is unaffordable::“At current cost levels the SLS program is unsustainable.”
The entire NASA budget is like 5% of the US military budget. Unaffordable my ass.
People in the middle east won’t bomb themselves you know.
That joke is now 2 years out of date and starting to grow mold
but still relevent
Replace wirh whatever country the US wants to steal resources from. Still valid.
More than 2 I think
Just because you CAN do something, doesn’t always mean you should. It’s unaffordable because it’s not reusable, and we need to stop making these types of rockets now we have a leg up on more sustainable/reusable and affordable solutions.
Yeah we should just shut down SLS so all the money will … wait what will they do with the money again?
Bureaucrat: I mean we could track space asteroids but the chances of them falling in my lifetime are kind of slim that money would look a lot better in my pocket…
