Is it because we can launch senators into the sun if they displease us?
Years and years ago the whole program became a jobs program instead of a space program. IMO its continued existence has been just to continue jobs for the states that benefit from it and not seriously reach space.
Honestly should just divert all of that into a couple billions‘ worth of starship factories and launch pads. A $1 billion SLS launchpad can instead become 10+ starship launchpads.
SLS has been Pork-barrel spending for decades now.
Keeping the aerospace companies infused with taxpayer cash so that the companies lobby to keep the senator in office. Rinse and repeat until the senator retires with their golden parachute pension.
They don’t care about space exploration, understanding the Universe, or solving humanity’s problems with space research…. They just want vacation homes, yachts, and to die comfortably somewhere pleasant.
It’s also the most capable rocket in existence, the cheapest crewed Moon rocket we’ve ever had, and the center point of the Lunar architecture that the experts support.
Ya’ll gotta stop letting a blogger like Eric Berger turn you against space exploration
He is about 6 months too late to save just about anything involving NASA. I think the odds of the US landing people on the moon in the next 5 years is laughable at this point thanks to Trump and Russ Vought.
